We didn't sign an agreement because I don't agree! The court date we had got stricken. So does this mean our temporary order is still in affect? Or is everything null and void all together?

Most divorce cases are settled by agreement of both parties. If your husband agrees you can have the truck and house, the divorce decree will order this.
If you can't agree, the court will hear testimony and divide property in a fair and equitable manner.
