FAQ
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. However, understanding what constitutes emergency custody can be complicated.
If you want to change a temporary custody order, you'll have to file a motion, write an affidavit (written statement), and collect other affidavits from professionals, neighbors, friends, and family members who support your motion.
You may appeal a temporary order if there's a concern related to abuse or neglect. Time-sensitive Issues or those involving threats to you or your child's safety may also be used as the bases for your appeal of a temporary order.
As in most other states, children in North Carolina aren't allowed to refuse to visit a parent under an existing visitation order until they're legal adults (when they turn 18 or otherwise become legally emancipated).
If you no longer want to continue with your custody and visitation case, you can file a motion asking the judge to dismiss it. However, if the other parent has already come to court or filed legal papers in the case, both you and the other parent must sign the motion for dismissal.
If granted, the emergency custody order stands until a judge issues further custody orders. Once an ex parte emergency custody order has been issued, a return hearing must be scheduled within ten days to determine whether an emergency order should be continued.
The grounds for granting emergency custody include situations in which a child is at a substantial risk of bodily injury, sexual abuse, or removal from North Carolina for the purpose of avoiding the authority of the North Carolina courts. Law enforcement can assist in recovering a child with an emergency custody order.
Insufficient Evidence: The court requires compelling evidence to grant emergency custody. While you mentioned having videos, pictures, and text messages, the court might have found the evidence insufficient to demonstrate an immediate threat.
What is the New Child Custody Law in Utah? Utah's new child custody law, which went into effect on , is called the "Equal Parent-Time Schedule." This law allows parents to share equal physical custody of their children unless there is a reason why this would not be in the children's best interests.
Write professionally, but in your own voice — don't try to sound like a lawyer. Be specific. Don't ramble or repeat yourself, and don't include irrelevant information. Don't lie or make assumptions not supported by facts and evidence — include only information that you have personal knowledge of.
