I'm 17 &pregnant and my mom filed for emergency custody because of my dad constantly cussing at me and him smoking weed in the house with me in it. I heard it is really hard to get &I'm going to be 18 in 7 months so by the time the regular court process would pass I would already be 18. Does she have any chance of getting me soon?
We are a UK site and the law is different here, I assume you are in the USA?
In the UK as you are 17 you could make your own decision which parent you live with, it would not need a court order.
You need to ask someone who will know the law in your home state as the law varies from one state to another. Can you contact a lawyer in your own town/ state for advice? Best of luck and hope it all goes well. sorry we can't help you more.
It is extremely hard to get temporary orders. You must prove to the court that there is a really good reason for them and a risk of “immediate harm to the child.”

I love these threads where the poster has no intention of taking any of our advice.
Emergency order over there are ex parte ( there is a new word for it )
which is one sided - but if she knows about it then she must have been given notice and so .... I would turn up and defend the petition
a defended petition is much more unlikely to be granted without a full hearing
doesnt sound as tho she has much else on - erm by wh I mean
that she has an exactly full appointments diary
