If the court orders it, you must usually wait 30 days for the other parent to move for reconsideration or file an appeal. After that, the move would be immediate."

Court Psychologists recommends tht DH get custody of 2 youngest children due to abuse in BM's home.  Judge to rule this Wednesday.

(1) If BM moves for a reconsideration or appeals, who gets custody of the children until the appeal is heard?

(2)  If BM gets custody until all appeal avenues have been exhausted (which could take years), what is the point of going to court to protect your kids?

(3)  Have lawyers used this tatic in the past in order to protect the abusive parent and their abusive realtionship with the children?

Thank you for your quick response to these pressing questions.

You're asking me to make a value judgment about the process of law that was enacted by your legislators. If you don't like the laws, then vote out the incumbent legislators until you get some laws that you do like. We the People, get exactly the government that we deserve.
