An interlocutory judgment is a temporary or provisional court order issued during the course of litigation – but it is not a final resolution of the entire case.
In the context of divorce, an interlocutory judgment might address certain immediate issues such as temporary child custody, child support, spousal support, or restraining orders while the divorce process is still ongoing. This type of judgment is intended to provide necessary relief or maintain the status quo until a final judgment is reached.
Once all aspects of the case have been fully resolved, a final judgment will be issued, which will legally dissolve the marriage.
