Getting an Emergency Petition hearing in Chester County
If there is an emergency in which irreparable harm will be caused if the party has to wait for a court date, then an emergency motion should be filed with the court. An emergency motion must either be verified under oath or be accompanied by an affidavit. When facing an emergency, family lawyer, Joshua Janis will bring the emergency motion to the proper judge and ask for an order to be granted. For example, if you live in Downingtown PA and your spouse has violated a custody order and has kidnapped your kids, attorney Joshua Janis is experienced in getting an Emergency Petition filed in Chester County Court promptly.
The Spouse seeking an emergency order must establish that there will be “irreparable harm” if the emergency relief is not granted immediately. Emergency motions should only be filed in real and serious emergencies.
These types of emergency motions typically deal with issues concerning abuse of a child, dissipation or unreasonable spending of marital assets, domestic violence, child abuse or a plethora of other potential emergencies. An emergency motion also could be filed if a spouse is about to permanently remove a child to another state without permission or consent of the other spouse. An emergency motion could also seek an order that a parent immediately return a child back to Pennsylvania who was wrongfully or illegally taken / kidnapped to another state.
