A judge will review the emergency custody order quickly, often by the end of the day. As part of their examination, the judge will decide if there's an immediate risk to your child's well-being. The evidence must be compelling and demonstrate immediate danger or serious neglect.
The court procedure that is used to get a temporary order is a motion. A motion is a procedure where one party asks for the court to make an temporary order for some sort of relief while waiting for the trial. It is important to note that there are different types of motions, urgent or non-urgent.
Florida courts handle emergency custody cases through two main types of motions: Ex Parte Motion: Filed without notifying the other parent.

When a judge grants a motion for temporary relief, the order will only remain in effect until the formal proceedings are completed.

A temporary custody order in Florida can last indefinitely. It usually has no specified end date. It generally lasts until another custody-related order replaces it. Temporary custody recognizes that sometimes a child is cared for by an extended family member who isn't their parent.
A temporary motion for time-sharing can ask the court to decide who will have majority physical custody of the child during the divorce proceedings, how parenting time is to be divided between the parents, and which parent will have primary responsibility for important decisions like healthcare and schooling.
