Child custody interim applications focus on the child's welfare. Parents should prepare school, medical, residence, caregiving, expense and communication records before seeking interim custody or visitation directions.
Documents to collect
- Child's birth certificate and school records
- Medical papers and special needs documents
- Residence and caregiving details
- Expense records
- Existing orders or settlement terms
Interim-custody assessment
| Factor | Useful records |
|---|
| Current caregiving | Daily routine, school attendance, medical care and the existing caregiving arrangement. |
| Stability and residence | Living arrangements, distance from school, safety and practical ability to follow a proposed schedule. |
| Communication and access | Existing visitation pattern, messages about access and any prior agreement or court order. |
| Urgent welfare concern | Specific incident records, medical or school material and any existing protective direction. |
What courts may consider
The court may consider stability, safety, education, emotional welfare, parental conduct, practical access and the child's best interests. Interim orders do not finally decide all issues.
