Motion For Temporary Custody {CCJP 0632}

CCJP 0632 - MOTION FOR TEMPORARY CUSTODY. This form is used in the Child Protection Division of the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, when a petitioner—usually a representative of the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) or another authorized party—seeks court authorization to immediately remove a minor from their current living situation and place them in temporary custody. This motion is typically filed at the beginning of a child protection case, alongside a Petition for Adjudication of Wardship, when there is probable cause to believe that the child is abused, neglected, or dependent under the Illinois Juvenile Court Act. The form requires the petitioner to state the legal grounds for custody, describe the urgent circumstances necessitating the child’s removal from the home, and explain whether reasonable efforts were made to prevent such removal. If granted, the court issues a Temporary Custody Order naming a suitable temporary custodian, often a relative, foster caregiver, or DCFS, and makes findings consistent with the legal standards for child safety and welfare. www.FormsWorkflow.com
