What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Idaho
My girlfriend and I split up in December of last year and I filed for custody of our 3 children. She and her lawyer filed a motion for temporary orders and a motion to shorten time. I did not recieve notice of the hearing date until after it had occured. I have filed a motion for reconsideration and have a new date but am unsure about what is likely to happen compared to what I would like to happen. So the questions I have are: If I can show that the orders that got issued due to me missing the date and the orders she is requesting (they are different) are not in the best interests of the children will the default orders be put back into place or can I request temporary orders that I want? If I can, do I need to do anything beforehand? Do I need to file a counterclaim or is it too late for that since I have already filed a response? Do I need to file my own motion for temporary orders? If so, will that have to take place at a separate hearing or is there a way to have it as part of the hearing that I already have scheduled? Thank you in advance for any help you can give me.
