Temporary Orders

Temporary Orders Attorney in Fort Worth

Representing Clients in Tarrant, Parker, Johnson, Wise, Hood, Denton, Somervell, and Jack Counties

Temporary orders are designed to maintain the status quo as much as possible, to preserve a stable environment while resolving certain legal issues. Some of the most common are temporary financial orders, to make sure a spouse cannot run up debt or otherwise spend all of the money, and temporary visitation, possession and access orders to ensure that parents maintain access to their children, during a divorce.

Additionally, temporary orders can be utilized in domestic abuse situations or circumstances in which one person is harassing another. People who find themselves in these circumstances are encouraged to seek a temporary restraining order while they are waiting for their court case to begin.

At the Law Offices of Mark M. Childress, PLLC in Fort Worth, we can make sure that temporary orders are in place to protect you and your children.

The Opinions That Matter Most

  • My questions were heard and answered without having to ask twice.

    “Value a capable team with experienced staff. For the past 9 months, the folks at the Law Offices of Mark Childress handled my case with class and empathy. My questions were heard and answered without having to ask twice. I felt like I was kept in the loop and always briefed properly. As I move forward with other ventures I wouldn't be surprised if we crossed paths again. And hats off to Konner, THANK YOU!”

  • Mark was there to answer every question, every phone call and did it in a way that I felt as if I were his only client.

    “I needed an attorney who would stand up for me and my child during a very hard time. Mark was there to answer every question, every phone call and did it in a way that I felt as if I were his only client. He was very knowledgeable not only about the law but about the opposing attorney and the judge. He prepared me well and we won our case. I would recommend Mark Childress to anyone who is fighting for custody or in need of child support.”

  • I highly recommend him and his staff. They are courteous, prompt and they care.

    “I called in inquiring about a divorce and how it all happens. I had 2 people call me back within an hour and in an hour maybe 2 I was talking with the lawyer. I highly recommend him and his staff. They are courteous, prompt and they care. Divorce is the hardest thing we will go through minus losing a kid and his team will be retained. He even called me back himself the next day to see how I was. Great service.”

  • This guy is amazing. In a matter of minutes, he accomplished what no other attorney could in 6 years.

    “This guy is amazing. In a matter of minutes, he accomplished what no other attorney could in 6 years. He had my case figured out in 1short conversation and had what he called "a convoluted mess" fixed. I'm pretty sure my ex felt like he'd been hit by a bus. My family is finally in tact and everyone is finally happy.”
