Emergency Problems
In the initial stages of a dissolution of marriage proceeding one of the spouses may need emergency relief from a Court. When the emergency relief is due to domestic violence between the spouses the emergency relief can be obtained by several methods. One may be to obtain a domestic violence injunction. Such an injunction may be obtained by the party without the aid of an Orlando divorce attorney through the clerk of the circuit court of your county and a Circuit Judge. It may be advisable for you to contact an Orlando criminal lawyer to discuss the possible options if you are the victim of domestic violence.
Emergency Relief for Domestic Violence Cases
In cases in which domestic violence has not occurred emergency relief may still be necessary. Issues concerning the children of the marriage may need to be brought before the Court for immediate determination. These issues may include emergency determination of custody and visitation due to child abuse or other reasons. They may also include a situation where one of the parents removes or threatens to remove the children from the State of Florida or is attempting to remove the children from the State of Florida without the consent or previous knowledge of the other parent.
Issues concerning one spouse having control over all of the assets of the marriage may need to be brought before the court on an emergency basis. Under the proper circumstances, it is possible to obtain an injunction restricting your spouse from selling, transferring, hiding or dissipating the assets of the marriage.
