FAQ
Usually a parent may request an emergency temporary child custody when the other parent presents an immediate danger. Substance abuse by a parent, abandonment, and other reckless or threatening behavior often constitute grounds for a court to issue an emergency custody order.
Child abuse or neglect – If there's evidence or reason to believe that a child is being subjected to abuse or neglect, an emergency custody order may be sought. Substance abuse – A parent's substance abuse issues that endanger the child's safety can lead to the need for an emergency hearing.
If you would like to reschedule a court hearing because you are unable to appear, you must file a written request for a continuance with the court 5 days in advance. You must also send a copy of your written request to the other party. A judge will review your request.
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.
Step 1: Go to the district court to begin the filing process. Step 2: Fill out the petition. Step 3: A judge reviews your petition and may grant you a temporary restraining order. Step 4: Service of process. Step 5: The TRO/injunction hearing.
Emergency injunctions are legal pleas for the court to take action to preserve the status quo while the legal process is underway. The idea is that unless the court intervenes, irreparable harm will be done.
The thing to do is file an emergency petition with your court. If the family court judge determines that an emergency truly exists, then a judge will probably be able to give you relief much more quickly than a judge would give you on a normal case where an emergency doesn't exist.
Washington courts may find a parent unfit if the parent has failed to provide appropriate guidance, care, and support for their children or if they have been abusive, neglectful, or a substance abuser.
