If a party is dissatisfied with the court’s ruling on a temporary order, is that ruling appealable to a higher court?
Rulings on temporary orders, other than an order appointing a receiver, are not
appealable to a higher court. Generally, only final orders such as a final decree of divorce are appealable. However, mandamus is available to correct an abuse of discretion by the trial court. The judge has considerable discretion and to reverse the court, a party must show a clear abuse of that discretion which is a difficult burden.
