Once a court proceeding has started, it's often helpful, if not necessary, to get one or more short-term orders about important things like where the children will live, or whether and what amount of spousal support should be paid. Issues like these can't wait until the trial is over and need to be dealt with immediately, although they'll only be dealt with on a temporary basis until the trial can be heard. To get short-term orders like these, called ''interim orders'', you must make an ''interim application'' in court. In Provincial Court, interim orders can also come out of Family Management Conferences or Family Settlement Conferences where a discussion can be had with the judge about the kinds of interim orders that might be suitable, and the process is less formal.
