Motion For Temporary Parenting Time Legal Decision Making

MOTION FOR TEMPORARY PARENTING TIME AND LEGAL DECISION-MAKING. This form is used in the Coconino County Superior Court by either a petitioner or respondent in a family law case to request temporary custody and parenting time orders concerning minor children. It is typically filed after a petition to start a case or modify an existing court order has been submitted, and it applies only to the children named in that underlying petition. The person filing the motion asks the court to issue immediate, short-term decisions regarding legal decision-making authority (custody) and parenting time (visitation) until a final judgment is entered in the case. The motion must explain why temporary orders are necessary—such as to protect the child’s well-being or provide stability—and can request specific arrangements, including a parenting plan, supervised visits, or, in serious cases, no contact with the other parent due to potential harm. The filer may also request that the court schedule a hearing and indicate the number of witnesses expected to testify. Once completed, the motion must be signed under oath and either notarized or sworn before a court clerk. A copy must also be provided to the assigned judge. www.FormsWorkflow.com
