A temporary hearing in Texas family law sets the ground rules while the full case is pending. These hearings can happen within weeks of filing for divorce or custody, and the results can shape your life for months—or longer.

At Barina Law Group in Temple, we guide clients through preparing for temporary hearings across Bell and Coryell counties.

What Can Be Decided at a Temporary Hearing?

  • Temporary conservatorship (custody)
  • Visitation or possession schedules
  • Exclusive use of the family home
  • Temporary spousal or child support
  • Temporary injunctions or restraining orders

How to Prepare:

  1. Know What You Want
    Be clear on your goals—whether it’s custody, financial stability, or staying in the home.
  2. Bring Financial Records
    Paystubs, bills, mortgage statements, and any documents related to your child’s care.
  3. Have Your Story Straight
    Prepare a narrative. Judges want facts, not emotions. Practice explaining the situation concisely.
  4. Gather Witnesses or Statements
    Your attorney may submit affidavits or call witnesses to support your side.
  5. Dress and Act Respectfully
    This is often your first impression in front of the judge.

Temporary hearings move fast. We ensure our clients walk in prepared, confident, and focused on the bigger picture.
