FAQ
First, a party must file a Motion for Temporary Custody. A parent can file this into their ongoing divorce case or in a separate parentage case if the parents were never married. Once the court schedules a hearing, the parties can exchange evidence, reports, and any exhibits that will be used during the hearing.
How long does temporary custody last in Illinois? Temporary custody orders last until the judge makes a final ruling on the child's custody. However, temporary custody can be changed during the case if a party convinces the court that it's in the child's best interest.
Harassment, intimidation, interference with personal liberty, each have their own definition. These are pretty specific instances described as harassment. Any testimony to an incidence such as these will be sufficient evidence for a finding of “harassment” thereby allowing the court to issue an order of protection.
The standard of proof required is “a preponderance of the evidence,” the default standard of proof in civil litigation proceedings, which requires the party with the burden of proof to show that the allegations giving rise to a cause of action are more likely than not to be true.
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.
The Motion and the Notice of Motion need to be e-filed with the Clerk of the Court. The e-Filing system will reject your filing if you do not enter a court date on the form before e-filing it.
In a temporary order hearing, the judge determines who gets custody (also called parental responsibilities) based on the best interests of the child. Most often, the temporary order remains until the final custody order is put in place.
How do I get temporary custody in Illinois? A parent gets temporary custody of their child by filing a Motion for Temporary Custody. Then, at the hearing, they have to prove to the judge that it is in the child's best interest for them to have custody.
To modify the order, you must show the judge there is an issue that cannot wait to be resolved at trial. These matters include such issues as child endangerment or a parent violating the terms of the order. To modify temporary custody orders, you will need to include your reasoning for filing a motion to modify.
