What is an Interim Order?

An Interim Order is a temporary court order that puts arrangements in place until a final decision can be made. It provides a holding position to ensure a child's welfare is met or a party's financial needs are covered while the full case is ongoing. Our solicitors are experts in identifying when these orders are needed and making a compelling application to the court.

Interim Child Arrangements

If you cannot agree on where the children will live or who they will see while the court case is proceeding, we can apply for an Interim Child Arrangement Order to provide a stable routine.

Arrange Interim Contact

Interim Maintenance (Maintenance Pending Suit)

Questions About Interim Orders

What is the purpose of an interim order?

The purpose is to put a temporary, legally binding arrangement in place to manage a specific issue until the court is able to make a final, fully-informed decision. It is designed to provide stability and prevent injustice during what can be a long court process.

Is an interim order permanent?

No. An interim order is specifically a temporary measure. It only lasts until the next major court hearing or until the Final Order is made. It does not prejudice the final outcome of the case, although it can provide a helpful indication of the court's thinking.

What evidence does the court need for an interim hearing?

Because these hearings are often urgent and happen early in a case, the evidence is usually limited. The key document is a concise, well-drafted Position Statement, supported by core evidence such as bank statements for a maintenance application. We are experts in preparing these documents for maximum impact.
