FAQ
For one parent to gain sole custody, there must be a reason that it is not in the child's interests to be in the custody of the other parent. Sole custody is more likely in circumstances where: One parent is a legally unfit parent. A parent has a history of abuse, domestic violence, or child neglect.
California generally prohibits parents from withholding visitation unless there is a legitimate reason. Legitimate reasons can mean more than just disliking the other parent. Typically, a court needs to agree to withhold visitation if there is concrete concern that a child is unsafe when with the other parent.
The emergency petition for custody must include a signed affidavit that states the child is in imminent danger of harm and should include documents or evidence that support the claim. The more thorough and solid the evidence, the more likely the judge will be to grant the emergency motion.
Navigating the intricate legal landscape of child custody can be a stressful part of any divorce. In California, parents have the right to petition for an emergency custody hearing in family court under certain circumstances to protect their child from imminent harm.

Who Has Custody of a Child if There Is No Court Order in California? If the two parents were unmarried at the time of birth, the mother has custody by default unless the father has established legal paternity. If the father has established legal paternity, the two parents share custody.

The process for filing for an emergency custody order is governed by California Rule of Court 5.151. To begin the process, you will need to fill out two forms: Form #FL-310, Application for Order and Supporting Declaration, and Form #FL-330, Proof of Service Form.
This could be related to the quality of the evidence, the context in which it was presented, or the court's interpretation of the immediate risk to your child. Legal Standards: Courts adhere to strict legal standards when evaluating requests for emergency custody.
Denial of the ex parte motion likely meant the Court was not convinced that the immediate grant of your request was necessary to protect the individual or the individual's rights. Don't forget the ex parte motion is one of the few times when the court system does not offer both parties a level playing field.
