Private preparation tool

Prepare a temporary-relief review checklist

Organize general questions about possible interim issues while a divorce is pending. Review the result against current court papers, official New York Courts information, and qualified legal or court-help guidance.

Private by design: Nothing entered here is uploaded, transmitted, or saved by this tool. Do not enter names, addresses, children’s identities, case numbers, financial figures, account information, allegations, private communications, evidence, or document text.

Important legal limit: This organizer does not decide whether temporary relief is available, urgent, appropriate, or likely to be granted. It does not calculate support, select a motion or order-to-show-cause packet, determine notice or service, set a deadline, prepare evidence or testimony, complete forms, or file or contact anyone.

Local worksheet labelCase stage being reviewed

Review checks I confirmed the current case status, assigned court or county, existing orders, and any scheduled appearance outside this tool. I listed the general interim issues to discuss—such as safety, parenting, support, housing, property preservation, fees, access, or another concern—without assuming a legal remedy. I identified motion, order-to-show-cause, notice, service, emergency, or county-procedure questions for qualified review without selecting a filing path here. I identified categories of records or facts that may need private review without entering financial figures, allegations, evidence, or document text here. Safety, address confidentiality, interpreter, disability access, remote appearance, transportation, and child-care questions have been reviewed or listed for help. I rechecked current official forms and local instructions and listed unresolved legal questions for qualified help.
