If you file a motion to change a temporary custody order, the judge may schedule a hearing to gather facts and information from all the witnesses. The court may, alternatively, choose to make a decision based on the affidavits and other paperwork you and the other parent submit.
Temporary orders They remain in effect until a judge modifies them or issues a final order. If parents can't agree on a temporary order during conciliation, the conference officer recommends one to the court, and the parties must follow it until the court rules otherwise.
Court Order You must use the proper form in the same court of jurisdiction as your original custody agreement. You must attach a written list of proposed modifications. You must show how these modifications are best for your child's health and welfare.

If you want to change a temporary custody order, you'll have to file a motion, write an affidavit (written statement), and collect other affidavits from professionals, neighbors, friends, and family members who support your motion.
Modification via Mediation Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) is a popular avenue for parents trying to arrange or modify custody agreements in California. Through ADR, you could achieve an official, legal custody modification without going to court. ADR is not a custody trial.
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.
