How Can You Get An Emergency Custody Order?

Your child’s safety is your biggest concern as a parent. If you believe your child is in immediate danger, there are three steps to take to obtain an emergency custody order, including:

  • Filing a petition
  • Providing evidence
  • Attending the hearing

During the hearing, a judge will review the facts presented and make a decision within a few days or hours. For added reassurance, consider working with an experienced child custody lawyer during this process.

What Are The Differences Between Protection Orders And Restraining Orders?

Protective orders and restraining orders are two similar legal tools. The main difference is that protection orders are used in criminal cases and are designed to protect victims from abuse or violence while restraining orders are used in civil cases. Both orders are usually granted to prevent the abuser from continuing certain behaviors, such as contacting, threatening or abusing the victim.
