Temporary support is intended to cover basic needs such as food, clothing, housing, health care or medical needs and education. Most importantly, temporary means just that: it is intended to be kept in place only while a divorce is pending (in legal terms, this is called “pendente lite”).
An order to show cause (O.S.C.), is a court order or the demand of a judge requiring a party to justify or explain why the court should or should not grant a motion or a relief. For example, if a party requests a restraining order from a judge, the judge may need more information.
Appellate courts often issue orders to show cause to lower courts requesting that the lower court explain why the appellant should not be granted the relief requested by the writ or appeal. An order to show cause is always an interim order (because it is never the first nor the final action in a legal action).
Except for motions made during a hearing or during trial, motions are required to be in writing. They must also be filed in court and served on the opposing party's attorney (or the party if not represented by counsel).
For example, if your ex-wife believes that you are smoking weed or drinking alcohol in front of your child in violation of the Order that states no drugs or alcohol are to be in the presence of the minor child, her attorney may file an Order to Show Cause.
A motion to show cause is used to bring one party's failure to comply with a Court order to the Court's attention. The motion to show cause must be completely filled out and must be supported by an Affidavit.
After both parties have argued their case and presented evidence, the judge will render a decision. The judge can order a non-compliant party to take steps to remedy the situation, and impose legal penalties upon the non-compliant party.
Temporary orders are a way to get an agreement about child custody and support in place while the process for the final order is in process. Temporary restraining orders and protective orders are emergency agreements meant to protect the safety of a child or ex-spouse.
