Child custody cases frequently involve multiple states due to a party moving post-divorce or even during the divorce process. A common acronym is mentioned during any dispute involving child custody cases across state lines: UCCJEA.

In this edition of In The Studio, DadsDivorce.com editor Matt Allen shares what's new on the site this past week including:

Question: 

I couldn't get an ex parte order against my wife on behalf of my son because she has already filed for divorce. Is there anything I can do to keep her from taking my son from the babysitter while I'm at work?

Question:

My daughter's mother recently found out about a condo and truck I recently purchased and put in someone else's name. Is there any way she can prove that I own these items, such as through discovery? I am afraid that if she pulls my credit card statements she will see the repair items I purchased, and then if she gets invoices pulled from the companies I purchased the items from she can prove that they went to this new address. Is this possible? Is there any way to keep her from doing this?

Credit cards are a serious problem if not handled properly during a divorce. This is one area where divorce planning is very helpful if not essential.

The Twentieth Judicial Circuit in Florida, where I live, provides something called a Temporary Standing Order that immediately takes effect when a Dissolution of Marriage action is filed.  Since certain issues recur in most dissolution of marriage cases, these Standing Orders serve as temporary relief for the parties.

All districts have their own versions of the Standing Order.  Some districts have Standing Orders for cases with children and another one for cases without children.
