What is a Las Vegas temporary order in family court?

Fathers may find that they do not have any custody rights because they never established paternity, but the mother is in trouble somehow and custody with father is the only option and it has to be accomplished immediately. These fathers needs a temporary child custody order.

Mothers may have a husband who is no longer in the picture but will pretend to want to be so that he can get preferential custody and avoid child support—but the mother needs the child support immediately to survive with the child because the father, who was the provider, is no longer providing. The mother needs temporary child support order.

The temporary orders will work until the court has entered a permanent order following a trial, also called an evidentiary hearing.
