Understanding the Temporary Child Custody Definition It is a court-issued directive that establishes custody and visitation arrangements while your case is pending. Also known as pendente lite orders, these arrangements dictate who will have custody of your children throughout the litigation or settlement process.
During a temporary custody hearing, several critical issues are addressed to ensure the childs best interests are protected. Common decisions include visitation rights, parenting schedules, and child support arrangements.
Dont Bash The Other Parent Even if what you are saying is true, it is best to allow the courts to discover any undue behaviors on the part of parents during child custody hearings. Also, while refraining from making true claims about the other parent, it is not a good idea to make false defamatory claims against them.
Depending on the court official, a temporary order hearing is often more informal than other hearings that may be held during the divorce. During this hearing, both sides attorneys will present financial declarations, facts, and arguments regarding the pertinent issues.
Emergency temporary custody orders can be issued within days or weeks after filing. If the situation is very urgent, a hearing may take place within hours. This hearing is likely to be held ex parte, meaning your childs other parent may not be in attendance to present their side.
