Re: does depression = child endangerment
Without knowing _exactly_ what the Order says, it is not possible to answer that question. If it granted him temporary custody of the children until that hearing, there is nothing that you can do until then. If it did not, then you might have other options.
These are complex issues, and it is important that they be handled correctly. Therefore, it is important that you consult an experienced family law attorney to find out what options are available to you based on the facts of your particular case.
