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.
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.
The affidavit usually contains information about the parent-child relationship, the parent's capacity to meet the child's emotional and physical needs, the child's medical and educational background, and any other pertinent information that could aid the court in determining the child's custody.
In the first paragraph, state how you know the person and attest to their character. Second paragraph show how loving and caring they are with their child. Third paragraph show how bonded the child is to the parents and give examples.
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 emergency motion must show (1) how and why the giving of notice would accelerate or precipitate the injury or (2) that the time required to notice a hearing would actually permit the threatened irreparable injury to occur.
Write a clear statement of purpose, specifying the reason for the affidavit. Present facts in chronological order with numbered paragraphs for easy reference. Facts should be precise and relevant to the affidavit's purpose. Include a statement of truth declaring that the contents are accurate under penalty of perjury.
