My Ex is active duty Marine Corps and has orders to Germany which she will leave for 29 March. We have 2 young children and have no custody order in place as of right now, and seem to be miles apart when it comes to what we want. I am wondering if an EX Parte Order is even an option to pump the breaks and force her to come to the table to forge a more equal plan?
An emergency ex parte custody order can only be granted in two circumstances:
(1) The minor child is exposed to a substantial risk of bodily injury or sexual abuse, or
(2) There is a substantial risk that the minor child may be abduced or removed from the State of North Carolina for the purpose of evading the jurisdiction of the North Carolina courts.
