A quick definition of provisional seizure:

Provisional seizure is when someone's property is taken to pay for a debt or a court judgment. It can also mean when a person is arrested for not following a court order or to make sure they pay a debt. Sometimes, a creditor can take a person's wages to pay off a debt. Before taking someone's property, there is usually a hearing to make sure it's fair. Provisional seizure can also mean when a document is attached or connected to something else.

A more thorough explanation:

Provisional seizure is the act of seizing someone's property to secure a judgment or to be sold in satisfaction of a judgment. It can also refer to the arrest of a person who is in contempt of court or is held as security for the payment of a judgment.

For example, if someone owes money to a creditor and refuses to pay, the creditor can request a provisional seizure of the debtor's property. This means that the creditor can take possession of the debtor's property until the debt is paid off or a judgment is made in court.

Another example is when a person is held in provisional seizure as security for the payment of a judgment. This means that the person is arrested and held in custody until they pay the judgment or are released by the court.

Overall, provisional seizure is a legal process used to ensure that a creditor is able to recover their debt or judgment by seizing the debtor's property or holding them in custody.

Nah, the fucked up thing about therapists is they try and make you think your parents are your enemy 99% of the time and really they should be telling you that your parents have almost no effect on the rest of your life. If they can get you to keep focusing on your parents they can keep making money.
