Summary
In California, during a divorce, if one spouse freezes finances, the other can file for spousal support or request a temporary support order. If the spouse needing support is the only breadwinner, they can ask the court to release some frozen funds or seek an advance on property division. The time frame for these actions varies based on the courts schedule and case complexity. If the ex-spouse is uncooperative, the court can intervene, and the requesting spouse can file an emergency motion for fund release. Legal representation is recommended for these steps. Consult a lawyer for specific guidance.Full Conversation
