When a child’s safety is at risk, California courts allow parents to request emergency custody. Serious issues like abuse, neglect, or hazardous home environments may justify immediate legal action. In many cases, Beverly Hills judges will issue emergency orders without prior notice to the other parent—if the threat is credible.
It’s crucial to present strong evidence and follow proper procedures. Whether you're filing or responding to a custody petition, legal guidance from a Beverly Hills child custody attorney at Berenji & Associates Divorce Lawyers can make a significant difference.
