Legal Question in Family Law in Iowa

My ex-husband has physical custody of my two children and I have been planning on filing a Petition for Modification and a Rule to Show Cause because he has witheld the children from me for a long time. Now the time line has been stepped up because he is also charged with two felony counts of child sexual abuse and has been court ordered not to be in the presence of any juvenile. Can I file the Application for Emergency Relief and Temporary Placement at the same time that I file the Petition for Modification and Rule to Show Cause?

Yes you can-I would also suggest that you request an expedited hearing and contact DHS if you have not done so immediately. If you have not, do it today.
