A Utah Ex Parte Child Protective Order is a type of restraining order designed to protect a child from imminent danger or harm. It is issued when the court finds that a child is in immediate danger of abuse, neglect, or exploitation, and that no other order is able to protect the child in the short-term. There are two types of Utah Ex Parte Child Protective Orders. The first type is an Ex Parte Order of Protection, which is issued without the knowledge of the other party. This type of order is used to protect a child from an imminent threat of abuse, neglect, or exploitation. The second type is an Ex Parte Order of Custody, which grants temporary custody of a child to the petitioner until a hearing can be held to determine permanent custody.
