Re: Emergency custody

You do have grounds for emergency custody. You may file an ex-parte motion for custody. Ex-parte means that the hearing will take place without a hearing notice so that she will not have an opportunity to respond to your claims.

As to the criminal charges, depending on the type of hearing, you may want to appear. You may contact the prosecutor to discuss your appearance. You will want to be informed of the plea entered and the sentence. Sometimes the plea and sentencing occur at the same hearing, and other times they are done separately.

It will be up to the prosecutor to decide what deal she may get. She is in serious trouble.
