Legal Question in Family Law in California
Court order
Hello, I'm going through a
custody/divorce. Today we went to
court and my ex-husband asked the
Judge to make the orders ''Stay''. What
does that mean?. Thank you so much.

Re: Court order
Apparently you aren't represented by an attorney. Go back to the court and go to the clerk's office and ask for a "minute order" from yesterday's hearing (it may be someplace else in the courthouse you obtain one but at least the clerk will tell you). That hopefully will tell you what happened.
I can think of 2 contexts in which that word might have been meant: 1. He's not represented and meant "stay in place," that is, have the orders been ongoing; or 2. A "stay" means a freeze, nothing happens pending something else, like there is a condition that must be met before the next step can occur.
