How long did it take you to go to court for temp orders. My divorce was filed on 2/9/07. My lawyer still has no date for me. I really need these orders so I can get cs. Right now I am almost out of money. STBX has not work in two weeks so I don't think he will be giving me money this week. He said he would pay me every two weeks. He did give me a little money on the 9th but it was less than 1/2 what it should have been. I called my lawyer again this afternoon. She is going to call the court in the morning and see what is going on. The state I live only makes you wait 60 days for D to be final. It should be final around the second week in April. I thought I would have a date for this month. She talked like we would go right to court for temp orders. Maybe I am just inpatient.

Hi there. I know how you feel! Each state is different. It depends on the area you're in, how backlogged cases are, etc. In my case, it was about four weeks from the date I filed until we had a hearing for temporary orders.
