An emergency custody order temporarily awards custody—called parenting time and parental responsibilities in Illinois—to one parent if the court believes the child's well-being is at risk. It is not an order of protection and will not restrict the other parent's access to see their child.
As the name suggests, temporary custody provides a short-term court order granting either on parent, or both parents, custody until the parents are able to reach a permanent custody agreement. In contrast to creating a parenting plan for long-term use, the court can grant temporary custody quickly.
To address the immediate needs of the children involved, a motion for temporary custody is filed to establish a temporary arrangement until a final custody agreement is reached.
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.
Most often, the temporary order remains until the final custody order is put in place.
A legal custodian has full parental rights over the minor child and can make important decisions for the child in the same way as a temporary custodian. While a temporary guardianship is only intended for a short time, the court considers the custody decree to be final.
Temporary reliefs require a special hearing that provides an impermanent solution based on the circumstances and are typically resolved through settlement negotiations or mediation. When a judge grants a motion for temporary relief, the order will only remain in effect until the formal proceedings are completed.
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.
