Re: Temporary Custody
You should file a petition for guradianship, and request that you are appointed the temporary emergency guardianship of the children. Explain to the court that she is moving from place to place and is difficult to locate. Then request an order shortening time to serve her. This process has numerous requirements that must be strictly complied with.
