What is a “non-final order” in a Florida divorce or child custody case?

The term “non-final order” encompasses any order entered prior to entry of a “final order”.  Basically, unless the order completely ends the case, it is a “non-final order”.

Examples of “non-final orders” that are appealed often in divorce in family cases are temporary relief orders (including temporary alimony orders, temporary timesharing orders or temporary attorney’s fee orders); orders upholding or setting aside a prenuptial or post-nuptial agreement; orders temporarily freezing access to assets; and orders allowing discovery of privileged or sensitive information.
