Understanding the Law If you have a court-ordered right to possession, the other parent is illegally keeping the child from you, and there is no serious, immediate, question about the child's welfare, you can ask a judge to order the child's return to you.
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.
Prepare the necessary documents: To request an emergency custody order, you must file a sworn affidavit with the court detailing the specific facts and circumstances that demonstrate the immediate danger to the child. Additionally, you need to complete a Petition for Temporary Restraining Order and a Proposed Order.
