FAQ
The process of obtaining temporary child custody in Arizona is to file a petition to establish custody of a child or a petition to modify a prior child custody order. In Arizona, it could, in some cases, take as much as a year to have a final child custody trial.
This temporary custody order can last until a permanent agreement is reached or the court makes a final determination. It's crucial to work with an experienced family law attorney to ensure your and your children's best interests.
Your plan should have a temporary custody schedule that shows where your child lives and when your child spends time with the nonresidential parent. Your schedule should contain everything in a permanent custody schedule and show your child's daily living schedule, holidays, and vacation time.
Emergency temporary custody orders can be issued within days or weeks after filing. If the situation is very urgent, a hearing may take place within hours. This hearing is likely to be held ex parte, meaning your child's other parent may not be in attendance to present their side.
Parents can sign a written agreement (technically called a “power of attorney”) giving you the authority to care for their child if they know they will not be able to take care of the child temporarily. For example, if the parents will be away for work, in jail, or getting medical treatment.
If it is a temporary guardianship, you could file a petition to terminate the temporary guardianship with the probate court. If it involved signing over of custody in some other type of proceeding and/or court, you may need to file a motion, or a similar document, to try to terminate the custodial transfer.
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.
