The Ex Parte Application must show there is an emergency such that there will be irreparable harm or immediate danger if the order is not granted. An Ex Parte Application should only be filed when there is not enough time to hear a regularly noticed motion (16 court days minimum).
Common grounds for emergency custody or visitation orders include: Domestic violence. Child abuse or neglect. Substance abuse issues or other criminal activity. Physical or mental health conditions. Questionable individuals in the home.
Legally, you can't keep your child from their other parent even if there is no court order for visitation in place. In most jurisdictions, both parents have equal rights to the child in the absence of a court order, meaning you cannot unilaterally prevent the other parent from seeing the child.
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.
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.
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.
