FAQ

If you are able to demonstrate some sort of imminent harm/danger/threat, then the court will grant the emergency custody order. If the order is granted, then the court will have a more formal hearing, usually ten days later, and the other custodian will then get notice to show up so they can tell their side.

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.

Emergency custody is usually granted in cases where there is an immediate risk of harm to the child. If you believe that your son is in immediate danger or experiencing harm due to parental alienation, you may seek emergency custody.

Usually a parent may request an emergency temporary child custody when the other parent presents an immediate danger. Substance abuse by a parent, abandonment, and other reckless or threatening behavior often constitute grounds for a court to issue an emergency custody order.

If you believe the child is in imminent danger, there is a place on the petition to request immediate, temporary relief. In such cases, a Judge reviews the petition and makes a determination of how best to protect the child. There are no filing fees in Family Court.

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.

Child abuse or neglect – If there's evidence or reason to believe that a child is being subjected to abuse or neglect, an emergency custody order may be sought. Substance abuse – A parent's substance abuse issues that endanger the child's safety can lead to the need for an emergency hearing.

The thing to do is file an emergency petition with your court. If the family court judge determines that an emergency truly exists, then a judge will probably be able to give you relief much more quickly than a judge would give you on a normal case where an emergency doesn't exist.
