Re: endangering minor childrens welfare
An emergency petition for change of
custody should be filed. The peti-
tion should set forth the reasons why
the matter should be considered an
emergency and should outline, in
detail all facts that you believe
are dangerous to the health, safety
and welfare of your children. It
would help if you had witnesses who
are willing to come to court to
testify.
