Automatic Temporary Restraining Orders

Automatic temporary restraining orders go into effect when you file for divorce and the other spouse is served with a summons.  These restraining orders prevent you and your spouse from taking the following actions:

  • Removing a minor child from the state, without the prior written consent of the other parent  or a court order.
  • Applying for a new or replacement passport for a minor child without the prior written consent of the other parent or a court order.
  • Transferring, encumbering, hypothecating, concealing, or in any way disposing of any real or personal property without the written consent of the other party or a court order.
  • Borrowing against, canceling, transferring, disposing, or changing the beneficiaries of any insurance policy, including life, health, automobile, and disability insurance held for the benefit of a family member.
  • Creating a nonprobate transfer or modify a nonprobate transfer in a manner that affects the disposition of property subject to the transfer, without the written consent of the other party or a court order.

Actions You Can Undertake

Even if there are in effect automatic temporary restraining orders, you can still take the following actions:

  • Use community property, quasi-community property, or your own separate property to pay reasonable attorney’s fees and costs in order to retain legal counsel.
  • Create, modify, or revoke your will.
  • Revoke a nonprobate transfer, including a revocable trust, pursuant to the instrument, provided that notice of the change is filed and served on the other party before the change takes effect.
  • Eliminate a right of survivorship to property, provided that notice of the change is filed and served on the other party before the change takes effect.
  • Create an unfunded revocable or irrevocable trust.
