TEMPORARY CHILD CUSTODY

Temporary child custody can happen under several different circumstances. When parents get divorced, a judge may issue a temporary child custody order. When the state removes children from a home, the state might issue a temporary child custody order through the courts.

During a divorce, a temporary child custody order might be issued through the courts to determine who will have the child or children for the duration of the divorce. This is not a permanent order through the courts. However, a temporary custody order through the courts during a divorce is not often overturned when the final decision comes at trial unless there is good reason or proof that the decision should be overturned. If there is a joint temporary child custody order and you are fighting for full, you will need to have good reason why the other parent shouldn’t get to spend half of the time with the child. If you both live in a small town, you both have the time, and you both are willing to spend the time with the child, a judge will issue a joint child custody order.

If you get into trouble with the law that is violent and criminal or if you are charged with a violent act against one of your children, the state may issue temporary child custody order to have your children removed from your home while they investigate the allegations. In most cases, a temporary child custody order from the state will last about 72 hours and if they do not act within the time frame, the temporary order is null and void.

A temporary child custody order is only temporary unless reason has been given to make the removal permanent. There is no reason to panic if a temporary child custody order has been filed to take your children from you. You will always get your children back; they will always be your children. You might need to hire a lawyer, but you must do and comply with everything required by you through the courts and the state if you want your children back.
