Grounds For Obtaining Emergency Or Temporary Child Custody
If your ex or their current partner/spouse has a problem with alcohol, drugs, or violence, you could absolutely file an emergency appeal with the court. With substantial evidence of the issues at hand, you may obtain temporary or permanent custody of your children. When seeking custody of your children due to problems at the custodial parent's residence, it is critical that you have evidence and involve the appropriate authorities to strengthen your case.
Asking Child Protection Services to step in and filing police reports with local police departments can help make your case stronger and more convincing. You can find the proof and documentation you need to properly execute a child custody modification with success in most cases. This can be extremely effective, especially if you file for an emergency ex parte restraining order against the other parent through the courts.
Most courts look at what is in the child's best interest, and if the child is at any risk or harm, whether it be emotionally, mentally, or physically, Child Protection Services can step in and take further action. When situations like this occur, now is the time for you to step up to the plate, file the appropriate paperwork, and do your due diligence in obtaining the proof and documentation for obtaining temporary or permanent custody of your children.
Once child custody is obtained, it will be harder for your ex to gain it back with their past issues and occurrences. They would have to prove that an improvement has been made and that the situation will no longer occur again around the children. Establishing that future occurrence will not happen is difficult and typically considered hearsay in the courtroom.
