Ex parte

In order to have grounds for an emergency order he would have to prove that there was an immediate risk of irreparable harm to the children or a risk of one party removing them from the jurisdiction of the court. It does not sound like those facts exist in your case.

My ex and I are waiting on a court date to determine Custody of our children. They have always been with me since our seperation 3.5 yrs ago. I have since moved about 200 miles away and remarried. Is there any chance he could file an ex parte to get temporary Custody? Or would the only way this can be done would be for the kids to be in harms way? My children are fine and he is aware of that.
