Illinois Motion for Temporary Custody is a legal document that is filed in Illinois court when individuals with a legal relationship to a child are seeking temporary custody of the child during a period of transition, such as divorce proceedings or relocation. This motion can be filed by either parent, a grandparent, a guardian, or other individual with an interest in the care of the child. The motion outlines how the temporary custodian will care for the child and provide for their needs, and it may include a request for temporary financial support from the other parent. There are two types of Illinois Motion for Temporary Custody: an Emergency Motion for Temporary Custody and a Regular Motion for Temporary Custody. An Emergency Motion for Temporary Custody must be filed in response to a sudden and unexpected change in circumstances, such as an illness or injury of either parent, or an imminent relocation. A Regular Motion for Temporary Custody may be filed at any time.
