Difference between prohibitive steps order and interim order?

[Nujra Rof]

Morning all,

Please can someone help explain this as my solicitor keeps talking about for hearing we have for a PSO and seems to be getting slightly agitated when I’m asking the question as she talks a bit fast like I am in law.

So basically it’s PSO hearing I believe to prevent partner from leaving the house with children as it would prejudice the child arrangement order as well as be bad for the children as we have always shared care together.

She then says or if not can we get an interim order till CAO sorted so I can leave the house and move out for sanity.

Please can someone advise have I got this right as surely we want both right? Till CAO sorted? That is the ideal outcome from this hearing or am I mistaken?

Thank you

Yes both would be good. The PSO to stop her leaving the country and an interim order to secure child arrangements in the short term. An interim order is likely to be much less time than 50/50 though. So on that basis, the best option would be to negotiate a final consent order for 50/50 at the hearing. I thought you were using a barrister? Are you using a solicitor as well?

Thanks Ash.

So the PSO is to stop her removing the children from the family home and prejudicing the case in her favour, whilst causing the kids instability. As she has made threats to this effect.

The interim order I’ve been advised is a back up.

I have a direct access barrister as you know. I do not have a solicitor - more a lady who has been brilliant, think she’s a retired solicitor and just works as hoc advising but not acting for people so I pay her just for her time as and when I want to use it. Technically am representing myself.

Hope that clears it up

And yes a child arrangement order at the hearing would be ideal but I’m not sure she will come to the fore and accept terms of 50-50.

As a back up objective I am going to ask the barrister to push for final hearing if it’s not sorted at this one…

Sounds good Sorry I forgot what the PSO was for Just stick to the child focused argument that you want child arrangements formalised before separation to ensure the kids have the best possible transition at the time of separation.

Just hope they don’t give that dreaded no order outcome…

I got my PSO ex-parte when my ex threatened to remove my daughter to her parents home in France.
Fairly easy to do and if you mention the threat of a child being moved overseas without your agreement or CAO in place then its usually granted.

Sadly I’d just be lying as no overseas connections I’m aware of. She has made threats (which she is now denying) but don’t want to lie myself and lower myself to her level
