When temporary custody orders are used
Temporary orders are commonly requested when parents need a court-ordered plan for where the children will reside, visitation, decision-making, or other parenting plan provisions during the divorce process.
Common documents involved in divorce custody issues
Depending on your situation, the paperwork may include a motion for temporary family law orders, a proposed temporary parenting plan, and related supporting documents. These filings may be made with the dissolution petition or shortly after the case is started.
Agreed vs. not agreed situations
If both parents agree on parenting plan terms, an agreed set of documents may be appropriate. If you are not agreed, different documents and procedural steps may be needed to request temporary orders.
After divorce: modifying custody later
If your divorce is final and you are seeking a later change in custody or the parenting plan, that is typically handled through a parenting plan modification.
