Temporary Restraining Athens GA

The temporary restraining order is simply a way for preserving the status quo before the temporary orders hearing. It prevents the parties from doing such things as cleaning out bank accounts, removing parties from accounts, selling assets, and removing the children from school or taking the children and running. Only one party needs to be present in the courtroom when a temporary restraining order is issued. After the temporary restraining order is issued, there is a hearing a couple weeks later when the parties must explain to the court why the order should be made permanent or cancelled. A restraining order can remain in effect for a period of time, even several years.

If temporary spousal support is granted under the expectation that the recipient spouse will become self-supporting, and that does not happen, the recipient spouse can sometimes request an extension of the alimony. The recipient spouse will have to show a good reason why he or she did not become self-supporting as expected.

There is no substitute for a face to face meeting when you are trying to select an attorney. If the chemistry between you is not right, it's not going to work. You will not only learn whether a lawyer has the necessary expertise, but also whether you could form a comfortable working relationship with him or her. At the meeting, give a clear summary of your case and the services you are seeking.
