FAQ
In California, parents have the right to petition for an emergency custody hearing in family court under certain circumstances to protect their child from imminent harm. However, understanding what constitutes emergency custody can be complicated.
Insufficient Evidence: The court requires compelling evidence to grant emergency custody. While you mentioned having videos, pictures, and text messages, the court might have found the evidence insufficient to demonstrate an immediate threat.
To file for temporary emergency custody, you will file it by order to show cause with an affidavit and petition for custody attached. You will file the application in the family court in the county your child resides in.
The affidavit usually contains information about the parent-child relationship, the parent's capacity to meet the child's emotional and physical needs, the child's medical and educational background, and any other pertinent information that could aid the court in determining the child's custody.
In New York, this type of substitute motion is called an "Order to Show Cause." An order to show cause can be heard anytime the court directs, even fewer than the usual eight days, and even as short as a few hours later, if the court is convinced there's a real emergency.
In the first paragraph, state how you know the person and attest to their character. Second paragraph show how loving and caring they are with their child. Third paragraph show how bonded the child is to the parents and give examples.
Write a clear statement of purpose, specifying the reason for the affidavit. Present facts in chronological order with numbered paragraphs for easy reference. Facts should be precise and relevant to the affidavit's purpose. Include a statement of truth declaring that the contents are accurate under penalty of perjury.
In the declaration you would state what your position is with respect to child custody: “I request _________ custody orders and I request _________ visitation schedule. Then you describe why your proposed custody and visitation schedule is in the child or the children's best interest.
