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.
If one parent is temporarily unable to care for a child due to circumstances such as illness or extended work obligations, either parent can request the court issue a temporary order to redefine each parent's right to custody until both parents are again able to fulfill their custody obligations.
What happens after you file for emergency custody? You go to court and tell your story. If the other parent is there, they get to tell there story too, and a judge makes a decision, usually entering a temporary order. A permanent order won't be issued until both sides have a proper chance to present their case.
Temporary custody orders often become permanent, but they may change if the evidence presented supports a change. At trial, you have an opportunity to present the court with more evidence than it likely had when it entered the temporary order.
