Do temporay orders turn to perminate orders?

Question

Have or had temporay orders setup.  Did not go back for perminate orders was told that they would turn to perminate orders and did not need to go back for the hearing.

Tristan Kenyon Schultz · Answer

Yes and no. Temporary orders usually last the duration of the litigation (or until listed on the court order). Many temporary orders are often transferred word-for-word into permanent orders, but they are not required to be transferred. Some things like child support payments usually do not change between a temporary and permanent order, but things like visitation/custody often do change between permanent and temporary orders. Lastly, a temporary order is NOT binding on a permanent order. Usually the factor that determines whether a temporary order becomes permanent is whether one or both parties choose to challenge the transfer of temp. orders into perm. orders.

Not normally, no.  However, if you were told by the court that the temporary orders would be made permanent, maybe that is what happened.  You should check with the court to see if the temporary orders have been made permanent or are still in effect.   In most instances, once temporary orders are entered, the court's expectation is that the parties will proceed towards the entry of permanent order, whether through settlement or a court hearing.   In most instances, courts will dismiss a case if there is not progress towards making a permanent order.    That being said, some cases slip through the cracks.
