A: The process is not fast. You could wait for six months or longer. You may want to file a request for order with the court right away to determine child custody and visitation. If there is no agreement on custody after the request for order, you will need to have a trial for the judge to determine the final issues.

A: You may acquire a temporary custody order via an emergency ex parte filing if the mom is jailed. The best first step is an Initial Consultation with an Attorney.
