What is a temporary custody order?
A temporary custody order is a short-term arrangement issued during a pending custody case to provide structure and protection until a final decision is made.
When are temporary orders used?
They are used when immediate clarity is needed—such as during separation, safety concerns, schedule conflicts, or instability.
What is a permanent custody order?
A permanent custody order outlines the long-term custody and parenting arrangements after the court reviews all evidence and determines what best serves the child.
Can temporary orders be changed?
Yes. Temporary orders may be modified if circumstances change or new information becomes available.

They remain in effect until modified, but they can be changed if there is a substantial change in circumstances.
