Washington Temporary Orders in a Non-Parental Custody Case are orders issued by a judge during a court hearing to provide temporary custody arrangements until a permanent arrangement is established. These orders may be requested by a non-parent seeking custody of a child, and the court may grant the orders if it finds that the best interests of the child would be served by granting the orders. There are two types of Washington Temporary Orders in a Non-Parental Custody Case: 1. Physical Custody: This type of order provides a non-parent with the right to have physical custody of the child until a permanent arrangement is established. This order may include specific instructions regarding where the child will live, who will have primary care and control of the child, and visitation or contact with the other parent or other family members. 2. Guardianship: This type of order provides a non-parent with the right to make decisions regarding the child's care and upbringing until a permanent arrangement is established. This order may include specific instructions regarding the child's education, health care, and other important matters. Washington Temporary Orders in a Non-Parental Custody Case are typically issued with the expectation that the temporary arrangement will be in the best interest of the child, and that the temporary order will eventually be replaced by a permanent custody arrangement.
