Temporary Orders - FAQ's

What is a receiver and why would the court appoint one

Under the statute authorizing the court to issue temporary orders, it also provides for the appointment of a receiver.  A receiver is a person appointed by the court to take charge and control of the community estate of the parties.  This is a drastic remedy that the court will only impose where property is in danger of being lost, removed or materially injured.  The court must also have considered other available options and from the evidence, concluded that a less harsh remedy was not available.  For example, if temporary orders forbidding the disposition of property were in place and these orders were being violated by a party, the court may invoke the receiver statute as a last resort.
