As a Boise Divorce Attorney clients often ask me about temporary orders. Specifically, people often ask if they can ask for something different than what they already have. Custody and visitation, for example, are a big area where parties to a divorce seek to establish an order giving them better visitation or more custody than the status quo. If you are a parent who has stayed at home with your child and you have provided the daily care of that child, of course that is what you would ask for in temporary orders. In the converse, the other party might want to take the opportunity to bring up past issues of things like anger, or laziness or the like, to try to get more visitation.
Judges do not like this. In general, temporary orders will preserve the status quo. If you bring up an argument such as you fear for the children because of the other parent's anger, but that parent has had those anger issues all along, the judge will see your desire to change the status quo as an act done in spite.
Child custody and the determination of it has so much to do with stability and continuity. Judges do not like to mess with stability and continuity in child custody cases.
