Re: custody
"Pendente Lite" is Latin for "temporary." Most contested cases have a temporary hearing, which simply determines how the issues will be addressed while the case is pending. For instance, which party will have temporary custody of a child between that time and the final hearing.
If you need more information, you can visit my family law blog (www.SCFamilyLaw.com) or our website (www.StevensFirm.com). I wish you the best of luck.
