Temporary Custody of A Child | Temporary Child Custody | Child Joint Custody

A temporary child custody form is needed for the initial hearing in order to establish temporary child custody.  In the United States, this form is available online for all fifty states except for Alabama.  In most cases, this is a one page form that can be downloaded (along with the instructions) and filed with the family court.  If the temporary custody is not contested by the other parent, a lawyer may not even be necessary.
