Emergency Motions for Child Custody
Hillsborough, Pinellas & Pasco County, FL
In Florida, some of the reasons to seek an emergency child
custody motion are as follows:
Evidence of child abandonment
Evidence of abuse or threats of abuse
Substance abuse or other derogatory behavior that may put the
children in danger.
Other reasons may also be considered and reasons for child
custody emergency motions are not limited to those stated above.
If you are concerned that your children or child is in danger,
do not take matters into your own hands. Law enforcement is
available to you as your first defense if your child shows signs
of abuse. If there are clear signs of abuse and you've made a
police report, you can also opt to file for a restraining order.
However, restraining orders are not the same as emergency
motions to modify custody. This is best dealt with by speaking
with an experienced child custody attorney. Attorney Sanchez
represents clients who need to file emergency motions in child
custody hearings, as well as other high conflict child custody
matters in Tampa, Brandon, Valrico and throughout Hillsborough,
Pinellas and Pasco County, Florida.
What Happens at an Emergency Child Custody Hearing
An emergency hearing for temporary relief as it applies to a
child custody matter, serves to give immediate relief to solve a
custody problem. The judge will hear matters pertaining to the
alleged problems such as abuse, neglect, drug abuse or other
issue that may be endangering the children or child. Your
attorney will provide evidence to support the problem such as
police reports, photographs, restraining orders, CPS reports or
testimony of witnesses. Medical records, school records or other
information may be presented or requested by the courts. It is
difficult to foresee an outcome with an emergency motion and it
depends much on what you are asking of the courts. If you are
asking to suspend time-sharing or overnight visits, asking for
supervised visits, counseling, anger management or other relief,
it should be shown that it is in best interest of the children
to do so.
What Type of Decisions or Rulings Can the Judge Make in an
Emergency Custody Motion
Once your attorney has presented the evidence to the courts they
can do all or some or none of the following which should focus
on the best interest of the children:
Order temporary relief pending a full trial and order any of the
following:
Suspension of overnight visits
Supervised visitation
Transfer of custody to another family member or parent
Order parenting classes
Order anger management if abuse is present
Order any other relief under the law that seeks the best
interest of the child
Child Custody Trial & Emergency Motions
After the temporary relief is ordered by the courts, as
stated above, the courts may have ordered a full trial to
follow. If this is the case, Attorney Sanchez will present facts
to the judge that will support the current situation. If, for
instance, the child's parent was using drugs or alcohol they may
have had a long history as a substance abuser. However, since
the trial follows an emergency motion,
treatment or counseling can be favorable in a custody
trial. Again, each case is unique so it is best to consult with
Attorney Sanchez & Associates to discuss your options if a
modification of child custody or time-sharing trial hearing was
ordered.
Will a Parent Lose Custody?
Each child custody case is unique. The courts in Tampa Bay
generally shy away from taking custody away from a parent.
Florida believes that it is in the best interest of the
child to have a relationship with both parents. Sadly, however,
there are times when it is not in the child's best interest.
Child custody attorney Nilo J Sanchez's goal is to present those
facts to the courts in an effort to keep the children safe and
to provide you and the children with temporary relief in this
matter.

aggressive child custody and
divorce lawyer in Tampa who you can depend upon for all of your family law
