Rule 704 Status Quo Orders, FCRPP 2(5)
FCRPP 2(5) provides that a Status Quo Order may be issued at the initial hearing. However, in the 56th Judicial Circuit, the initial court appearance may not occur for thirty days or more after the initial filing of an action for Dissolution of Marriage, upon Motion with notice and opportunity to be heard. The Motion may also be filed under LR 204(10). Therefore, a Motion Requesting Entry of the AOC 237, Status Quo Order, may be filed with the Petition. The Motion must state that the Respondent has ten days to file an objection to entry of said Order. The clerk shall include a copy of the Motion for service with the Summons and Petition. If no objection is filed within 10 days of service of the Summons, Petition and Motion, the Status Quo Order will be entered by the Court. If a Status Quo Order is not requested by the Petitioner, the Respondent may also seek a Status Quo Order at the initial court appearance or may file a motion as directed in this rule. However, the respondent must provide notice of the motion upon the petitioner without the assistance of the clerk. A copy of AOC-237 Status Quo Order as used in the 56th Judicial Circuit is shown as Appendix 4.
