What clients usually ask
When does an interim order apply?
The wording, issue and service of the order matter. Obtain advice on the actual papers rather than relying on assumptions.
The usual first steps
- Review the application, order and proof of service.
- Identify immediate obligations and safety concerns.
- Prepare evidence and submissions for the return date.
What to bring
Bring the agreement, court papers, notices, messages, dates and records that show what happened. Preserve original documents and electronic evidence without altering them.
