If one parent applies for custody do they have temporary custody until the court date?
Answer:
Yes, at least that is the case in the state of Florida.
The first parent that files will have custody until a judge rules.
depends on state law.
Said parent also must apply for temporary custody pending adjudication. Then it's up to the judge.
Usually, the other parent always has legal right to visitation unless there are reasons that would put the child in danger...
Both parents have joint custody rights unless or until a Court rules otherwise. The filing parent has no superior right over the other.
