Q: In family court, Pasco FL, would it be realistic for a judge to grant temporary custody and pull a child out of school?
Family friend, with a kindergarten age daughter whose ex was granted temporary custody over his daughter for three months. This would require her to move to Illinois and be removed from school for the duration of this time. I do not know my friend that well, but it does not seem realistic to me, and I am a bit suspicious.
A: Given the right facts the Court could enter an order like what you have described assuming the court has jurisdiction over the parties and the child, and the Court finds that its order is necessary for the best interest of the children.
