What Happens After An Emergency Custody Order Is Granted In Long Beach?

After being granted an emergency custody order, a return hearing will be scheduled generally within 14 days. The alleged abusive parent will be notified of this hearing and will be able to show any evidence they wish to provide to the court.

Can You Ask For An Emergency Custody Order If Your Child Lives In A State Other Than California?

Parents worried about their child’s safety can file for an emergency custody order, even if the child is currently living outside of California. The same reasons for petitioning for an emergency order must still be present.

Can You Get A Restraining Order Or Protection Order In Addition To An Emergency Custody Order?

Yes, in California, you can obtain a restraining order or an order of protection along with an emergency custody order. If your ex has been charged with a crime relating to your safety or your child’s well-being, then petitioning for an order of protection is the route to take; otherwise, a restraining order will be the correct option. Additionally, if the restraining order impacts the current custody situation, it will take precedence. Orders of protection normally do not interfere with custody orders.
