Re: temporary custody

Was the divorce ever dismissed for "want of prosecution". If so, the temporary orders ended if the case was dismissed.

If the case is still active, then the temp. orders control.

By the way, this happens all the time. Nothing out of the ordinary for a family law attorney.

Happy 4th of July!
