Can I get temporary emergency custody?
States may have different standards for when emergency
custody is granted. Some courts will grant you emergency custody without notice
to the other parent and without that parent present ("ex parte").
Judges may only do this in extreme situations but it may depend on your state
or county. You may need to prove to the judge that your kids are in danger in
order to get an emergency custody order like this or you may not. You may want
to explain your situation to a custody lawyer for advice on whether you may be
a good candidate for getting an emergency custody order. If you do get an ex
parte order, these orders generally are only for a short period of time so
there may be a hearing to decide a final custody order.
