Q: Is a Custody Order from the Juvenile Court to the Family Court considered a temporary emergency order under the UCCJEA?
A:
Once the Juvenile court has taken jurisdiction over a child it has jurisdiction until it releases to the Family Court with an exit order. That means that the State of California has exercised jurisdiction over the child which would qualify for the time limits of the UCCJEA.
