Tell me about it. I only learned about them after I got married. j/k
In other news: You don't have to be married for them to use it (support is harder for them to get if you weren't supporting them prior, but restraint and custody are still pretty easy).
Some lawyers apparently make it a standard practice to apply for an ex parte order, because even if the order is overturned later (the husband convinces the court that he's not abusive, probably takes months) the wife has custody of the children, and the court is less likely to move the children later.
Moral of the story: If you're a husband, and you think your wife is considering divorcing you, file first.
Anyways, this is off topic, if you want to keep going, make another topic, and we can talk about the ethics and practicalities of ex parte orders..

Personally, after reading this quoted bit:

Yeah, why would I get married and have children again? Seems like a pretty big risk... and considering that almost half of marriages are starting to end in divorce (http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/2435/is-it-true-half-of-all-marriages-end-in-divorce), are the odds even worth the risk?
