FAQ
Emergency orders of protection are similar to restraining orders in that they stop the other parent from seeing the child. These orders last up to 21 days. Emergency custody orders temporarily give custody to a parent. In these cases, the judge only considers information directly related to the emergency.
What are the grounds for emergency custody in Illinois? Grounds for emergency custody are when the child is in immediate danger. This includes abuse, neglect, and other extreme situations.
To qualify as an “emergency,” a motion must arise from an unforeseen circumstance that requires immediate action to avoid serious or irreparable harm to one or more of the parties.
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 it's an emergency motion, only “emergency notice” is required. You need not use the mail, but you must make reasonable attempts to tell the other parent of the emergency motion. Email, text, or a phone call may be enough. Usually, with notice, both parties can be present for a custody motion hearing.
Child Custody and Visitation: In cases involving child custody and visitation disputes, an injunction may be sought to establish or maintain the status quo until a final decision is reached.
Child Custody: A preliminary injunction might be used to prevent one parent from taking a child out of the jurisdiction or from making major decisions about the child's education or medical care until custody arrangements are resolved.
