Standing Order at Law Glossary

What is it? In family law cases, there is usually a local court order that sets out the rules of the case. Different courts have different names for it. Usually it is called the standing order, although it may be called the Domestic Relations Procedural Order. Whatever it is called, you will receive this order when you file your case, at the same time as you receive your summons. It is very important and you should read it carefully. Most significantly, it usually prohibits the removal of any minor child(ren) from the state or sale of marital property without agreement of the parties or the courts approval. Violating this order is as serious as violating any court order. Be sure you understand what it says.
