Interim measures<\/strong> are court-ordered provisions that regulate the personal, family and financial situation of spouses and their children while separation, divorce or marriage annulment proceedings are ongoing. In other words, they apply from the moment they are requested or the claim is filed until the judge issues the final judgment.<\/p>\n Their purpose is to ensure that, during the court proceedings, the family\u2019s daily life \u2014and especially the children\u2019s\u2014 remains stable and protected.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Interim measures<\/strong> may be ordered in two different ways, depending on when they are requested:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Interim measures cover the main issues that affect the family during the court proceedings.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Interim measures<\/strong> remain in force while the proceedings are ongoing. When the judge issues the final judgment, they are replaced by the final measures established in that decision.<\/p>\n If the proceedings end due to withdrawal, closure of the case or an agreement between the parties before judgment, the interim measures cease to have effect under the terms applicable to each case.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Yes. If relevant changes occur during the proceedings \u2014for example, one parent loses their job, changes residence or the children develop a new need\u2014 either party may request the modification of the interim measures already adopted.<\/p>\n Once the final judgment has been issued, any subsequent changes must be dealt with through a modification of measures<\/strong> procedure.<\/p>\n <\/p>\nContents<\/h2>\n
