A Washington Temporary Non-Parent Custody Order is a court order that grants a non-parent, such as a grandparent, aunt, uncle, or other relative, temporary legal custody of a child. This type of order allows the non-parent to provide care and make decisions for the child until a more permanent arrangement, such as adoption, can be made. There are two types of Washington Temporary Non-Parent Custody Orders: Expert Temporary Non-Parent Custody Orders and Temporary Non-Parent Custody Orders After Hearing. An Expert Temporary Non-Parent Custody Order is an emergency order that is issued without a hearing or notice to the parents. A Temporary Non-Parent Custody Order After Hearing is issued after a court hearing where both parents and the non-parent petitioner can present evidence and arguments.
