There are two main ways this might occur. At the start of a divorce, the filing party has the unique opportunity to request Temporary Orders from the judge without a hearing. If the other party properly objects, a hearing to settle the dispute over Temporary Orders will be scheduled within 15 days. If no new case is involved, the party who seeks the Temporary Orders must alllege sufficient danger or emergency circumstances to justify Temporary Orders without a hearing. Again, these can be overturned as the judge deems appropriate. Consult an experienced family law attorney.
