To file your Motion for custody modification in the Juvenile Court, fill out the Virginia Form DC-630, which is the "Motion to Amend or Review Order." A pendente lite (temporary) order may be used to settle custody and visitation issues until the parties can fully litigate or settle their case.The Virginia Judicial System has a number of forms for each court available on the court's form page. A magistrate may issue a temporary detention order without an emergency custody order proceeding. To understand how your case may allow for a modification of your Virginia protective order, consult with an experienced attorney as soon as possible. Learn about the types of orders the courts can issue and how to modify and enforce them. Plus, how to be sure you're following your court orders correctly. (See Virginia Code Sec. 20108). The first step in any modification is establishing a "material change" in circumstance has occurred. Once you file for divorce you will be able to file a motion for a pendente lite hearing.
