Emergency Petition For Temporary Custody Order Without Notice

EMERGENCY/TEMPORARY PETITION FOR NON-PARENT (In Loco Parentis) LEGAL DECISION MAKING WITHOUT NOTICE. This is an Arizona Superior Court form used in Mohave County by a non-parent seeking immediate legal decision-making authority over a minor child. Filed under A.R.S. § 25-409, this petition allows a person acting in loco parentis to request temporary custody without prior notice to the child’s legal parents when urgent circumstances exist. The petitioner must explain their relationship to the child, why the parents are unable to provide care, and why placing the child with either parent would be harmful. The form also requires disclosure of any prior custody proceedings and identification of all children involved. It is used in emergency situations where prompt court intervention is necessary to protect the child’s well-being. www.FormsWorkflow.com
