Art. 1285.8 Interlocutory decree

Here's a plain-English summary of this rule:

After looking at the factors listed in Article 1285.6(B), the judge decides whether to issue a temporary court order called an interlocutory decree. This can happen during the hearing or afterward, and the judge has the power to say yes or no to it.

The most important thing the judge thinks about when making this decision is what's best for the child. Even though the judge looks at several factors, the child's well-being comes first and guides the final decision.
