How Long Will a Temporary Order Last? An Ex-parte Protectiveemporary Order will last up to 30 days or until your court hearing. If your court hearing is held in another county or is delayed, the Order can be extended, but this often requires agreement by both parties.

What is a Motion for a New Trial in Divorce? In Georgia, a Motion for a New Trial may be used by either party in a divorce or family law matter to challenge the court's final judgment.
Most uncontested divorces are finalized within no more than a month after the waiting period. However, the length of time to the final decree depends on the court's schedule—most Georgia judges require a hearing if one or both of the parties isn't represented by an attorney.
Emergency orders To petition for emergency custody, draft a Motion for an Emergency Hearing explaining the urgent issue, and file it with the court. You should hire an attorney to write this, as it influences how soon the court hears your case. Typically, you'll have a hearing within 24 hours of filing the motion.
Parents may agree on a temporary order. Otherwise, they can ask the judge to decide the details of a temporary order after listening to both sides in a hearing. A temporary order remains in effect until replaced by a final order, unless it's first modified by the judge or by the parents together.
Temporary Order Hearings One side presents the reasons for granting the order. The other side explains why they oppose it or offers alternatives. Couples don't always disagree about temporary orders. Sometimes, both parties agree they need a support order or custody arrangement but can't agree on the terms themselves.
