Your lawyer might be able to obtain temporary custody for you.

Michael-

Without knowing the history of your case or the terms of the current custody and parenting time order, I can say whenever there is a change in circumstances that affects the best interests of the children, you have grounds to bring a motion to modify the existing order.

The FOC has an approved motion form with instructions that you can use without an attorney--here's the link:

You'll need to make sure though that you are following all the local rules the court clerk has for filing the motion and setting the date. The clerk should tell you if there are any other forms they need--that is not "legal advice," don't let them hide behind that!

There is a motion and judgment fee that will need to be paid to the court when the motion is filed. If you are out of work or low-income you may qualify for a fee waiver

If you can afford an attorney and don't want the hassle of trying to do this yourself, call me for a more in depth consultation.
