Los Angeles, CA asked in Family Law and Child Custody for Texas

Q: After a Temporary Orders hearing, how long does opposing councel have to file and serve it? Late filing consequences?

Opposing councel has efiled the written temporary orders a month before the final hearing and 4 months AFTER the TO hearing. How do I bring this up to the judge? The order is nearly over and I don't understand how a late service is acceptable.

A: Typically, if one attorney does not draft and circulate the temporary order within a reasonable time, the other party’s attorney will draft and circulate their own version.

If the parties have unresolved disputes as to the form of the order, either party can file a motion for entry of their own version.
