Question on temp custody order

[United]

Hi all,


Dad got primary physical custody granted (yea!) with an order to return in 3 months to "see how things are going" (boo!).

The impression we got was that the judge may keep things the same or go back to 50/50 based on how the kids were doing. Dad getting custody was based on the mediators report. Mom fought it to trial.

When a judge grants a custody change on a temporary basis what types of change is he looking for that would lead to a decision to return to a previous custody timeshare (which was 50/50)?

Anyone have experience with this type of order??

Thanks!

You are 100% correct. The Judge is loking at how the children react to the new schedule. Do they perform well in school? Are they having any behvior problems? Is there less or more conflict between the parents based on teh new schedule and for what reason?
