How do I fill out an emergency motion to adjust parenting time due to fear of safety of my children?

Business 6 views 3 answers
My name is Christopher Moring I have my 3 children full time. My ex in the last few months has tried to leave her husband multiple times and keeps going back to him. In that time he has filed emergency orders of protection against her and filed for divorce. 2 days after he filed for divorce she went back again. She has told me multiple times that hes verbally mentally and emotionally abusive. She has told me that he takes their prescription pain medication and sells them for extra money. Also they are being evicted for the 3rd time. He has pinched my oldest child's nipple and left a bruise. my youngest child has told me "Ron (my ex's husband) is a butt head because he always pinches us" He has no valid drivers license in the state of Illinois and my children tell me repeatedly that he drives everywhere. Shes Currently going to counseling for her anxiety due to his abuse. currently there's a temporary parenting agreement that she gets our 3 children every other weekend and she can come see them on wed for 4 hours. She has never once came on a wed to see them. My main concern is keeping my children safe and away from the unstable environment that her husband creates.

More information is needed regarding the extent of your relationship with the children. If the children are living in an unstable and dangerous environment, you as the legal father, may be able to get temporary allocation of parenting time (i.e. temporary custody) of the children if you are able to prove the instability and actual danger the current husband or the mother possesses for the children. Given the complexity of your case, I suggest you call an attorney and discuss your options.

There is no way for someone to explain how to draft an emergency motion. You should hire a lawyer - the facts you describe are serious.

You basically have two choices. One is that you draft a motion setting forth the relevant facts which support what you are asking for. Of course, you have to know what to ask for. Or you could do what makes sense which is hire an attorney who knows how to do these things. You make serious accusations and you should treat the matter seriously. That should mean hiring an attorney.
