In most states, you will need to file: an application for order to show cause. a supporting declaration that relays your reasons for the request. a proposed temporary order and. a proof of service.
Generally, temporary child custody is designed to last until a court can make a more informed decision about the child's long-term living arrangements based on the child's best interests.
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.
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.
The Ex Parte Application must show there is an emergency such that there will be irreparable harm or immediate danger if the order is not granted. An Ex Parte Application should only be filed when there is not enough time to hear a regularly noticed motion (16 court days minimum).
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.
Temporary Order: The emergency custody order will stay in place until the court schedules a more in-depth custody hearing. During this time, you and your attorney should continue to gather evidence and build your case for the final custody decision.
