A temporary measure in the procedures due to child support can be submitted before the initiation of litigation, during the procedure, or after the completion of the procedure in which the issue of alimony for a child is resolved. The temporary measure is usually submitted for the protection of the interests of a minor child, but it can also be adopted in order to provide support for the minor child. The need to apply to this institute is considered as "emergency assistance" that meets the needs of the child, which is of a temporary nature and has effect until the final decision with which it is decided on the merits.
Despite the fact that this institute is designed in order to effectively protect the interests of children and to ensure continuity in their maintenance, the available court practice shows that this tool is underutilized.
