What is the name of your state? OK

anyone know how long it might take to get a temporary custody order?
some can be gotten same day if conditions are right....others it takes months to get anything....more infor would help slim down the estimated time frame

i just want a temp custody order to hold me over until the divorce is final. would like to get it done sooner rather than later, and am hoping someone knows about how long it takes- average.

she said "are you in agreement on the terms". my question is- whoever gives me the TCO (i'm assuming that would be a judge), how do they know he agrees to it? do they send a copy to my ex and ask him to sign off on it?
Let me see if I get this straight:
You have/He has officially filed for divorce, yes? Filed with the court?
In the divorce paperwork,you asked for temporary custody?
Did you provide a parenting time schedule with that filing?
Do either of you have attorneys?

i'm filing monday for divorce. at that time i wish to request a temp custody order until the divorce is finalized. i want to know how long it will take from monday until i can probably get the temp custody order. he is wanting her for a visit in a couple weeks. i want the temp custody order first.



Do either of you have attorneys?
i do. he doesn't.

In the divorce paperwork,you asked for temporary custody? no divorce paperwork yet. so no i haven't asked for temp custody yet but i am going to on monday



Did you provide a parenting time schedule with that filing? i haven't filed yet, so how can i have provided a parenting time schedule. though i suppose that will be done on monday

No one can answer that question until you answer the questions that have been asked of you. It does make a difference...

Does he even know that you are filing? If not, then you could be waiting for a year.

Are you even certian if temp custody is possible in your state absence extenuating circumstances?

I ask because in MY case, the judge refused to issue a temp order, and so I lived with my STBX husband for 8 months waiting for the divorce to become final. It's not altogether uncommon for a divorce to take years... and not all judges go in for temp custody.
