Temporary Child Custody Decades of Experience

Temporary Child Custody in Mission Viejo

Fighting to Protect the Best Interests of Your Children

When a couple decides to get divorced, there are several issues that will need to be resolved. However, the process can potentially take several months or years and, unfortunately, some of these issues are too vital to put on pause for such a prolonged length of time. To address these urgent matters, the court will often grant temporary orders. Child custody is one such matter that requires a temporary solution until a more permanent one can be achieved. At The Hunter Law Group in Mission Viejo, our family law team is experienced in handling temporary child custody orders and will help you obtain a solution that meets your family’s needs while you go through the divorce process.

How Can I Obtain a Temporary Child Custody Order?

Temporary child custody orders are not automatically issued by the court. To obtain one, you will need to request it. You can request a temporary child custody order by including it in your divorce petition or after filing your initial paperwork. Next, a judge will hold a hearing for this request.

Being adequately prepared for this hearing is critical, especially since other related issues might be addressed to render a decision:

Visitation
Transportation expenses
Child support
Healthcare coverage
Domestic violence

As is always the case any time a legal matter involving children is being addressed, the best interests of the children are paramount in a temporary child custody order.

A judge will consider a variety of factors to determine a child custody order, including:

The relationship the children have with each parent
The emotional and physical wellbeing of each parent
The emotional and physical needs of the children
The ability of each parent to meet the children’s needs

Temporary child custody orders typically remain effective until the divorce is finalized and a permanent order is issued. However, if a judge feels that the temporary custody order is not serving the best interests, it can be altered. For example, if the child’s needs are not being met or the parent with custody is not allowing the other parent to exercise visitation rights, a judge would likely alter the arrangement. It might even impact the decision a judge makes when your divorce is finalized.

At Hunter Law Group, we've spend over a decade providing unparalleled legal service, advice, and guidance to our clients throughout Southern California.

“I highly recommend Mr. Hunter and his legal team.”
Mr. Hunter has provided and continues to provide my business with excellent legal services. His expertise and dedication has delivered results that have exceeded expectations, including a multi-million dollar judgment we received on a complex business litigation issue. I highly recommend Mr. Hunter and his legal team.

Jason H,
“I cannot recommend Dan highly enough.”
As an attorney myself, I feel uniquely qualified to review The Hunter Law Group. Dan helped me through my divorce last year with all the professionalism I expected. He did a great job negotiating a reasonable deal in spite of the dilatory and obstreperous conduct of opposing counsel. He was responsive to my inquiries and his legal fees were very reasonable. I cannot recommend Dan highly enough.

“My only complaint is that I wish I would have found him earlier.”
I was actually in trial when I realized that my then current attorney "was not cutting it" so to speak. Mr. Hunter agreed to take my case in the middle of trial. I was relieved! Unfortunately, the damage had been done. He was not able to turn the trial judge around, so Mr. Hunter took my case up on appeal and WON! The result on appeal was a reversal of the trial court's spousal support order as well as an order for a new trial on the issue of attorneys' fees. At the second trial on the issue of attorneys' fees and costs, Mr. Hunter was successful in obtaining an order that saved me from having to pay approximately $180,000 in legal fees and costs to my ex-wife. What a relief!!! Mr. Hunter is a master at his craft. My only complaint is that I wish I would have found him earlier.

“A ray of light throughout the storm”
After leaving a less than favorable relationship with my son's father and trying to navigate Family Law and the legal system on my own, I found myself completely bewildered. I was referred to The Hunter Law Group by a family friend and have been blown away by how amazing they have been to work with. Not only are they open and honest in their practices, they also empathetic, accommodating, and understanding. Every time I speak with them I feel at ease due to the security and trust they have built while working with them. My whole situation has been a nightmare legally but Dan Hunter and his staff have been a ray of light throughout the storm. I can't thank you guys enough.
