FAQ
Court-ordered child custody usually ends when: the child turns 18 years of age, the child gets married or joins the military; the court ends the support or custody; or.
Emergency custody orders are temporary and typically last until a full custody hearing is scheduled. At this hearing, both parents present more extensive evidence, and the judge makes a long-term decision regarding custody.
If the judge made any emergency orders, they last until your court hearing.
Rarely does temporary guardianship last more than six months. Temporary guardianship can be renewed with a new court petition, if required. But the court can also end guardianship if they find that it's no longer in the child's best interests. They may appoint a different guardian.
Your plan should have a temporary custody schedule that shows where your child lives and when your child spends time with the nonresidential parent. Your schedule should contain everything in a permanent custody schedule and show your child's daily living schedule, holidays, and vacation time.
Generally, temporary child custody is designed to last until a court can make a more informed decision about the child's long-term living arrangements based on the child's best interests.
Write professionally, but in your own voice — don't try to sound like a lawyer. Be specific. Don't ramble or repeat yourself, and don't include irrelevant information. Don't lie or make assumptions not supported by facts and evidence — include only information that you have personal knowledge of.
If involving an attorney is not desirable or affordable, one can file their own petition for temporary custody with the clerk of court. There is usually a self-help desk at the Clerk of Court, or you can find the forms online.
In drafting any temporary custody agreement it is important that the child's parent define the duration of the agreement and set forth details regarding where the child will reside and who has a right to visitation with the child.
Mothers historically have won more custody battles due to traditional roles and perceptions of mothers as the primary caregivers. However, this trend is changing as courts increasingly focus on the best interests of the child, considering many factors beyond traditional roles.
