Question:
Once there is a "temporary court order" for "physical and legal" custody granted to one parent (mother) on a 5-year-old, what are the chances that the Court would reverse the order in favor of the other parent for custody after the divorce is final?
Answer:
You need to consult an attorney in your jurisdiction as custody guidelines vary from state to state. Once a court establishes a custodial arrangement, it is difficult to reverse the order in favor of the other parent. You would need to show a change of circumstance to demonstrate to the Court why it would be in the best interests of your child to reverse the order and the longer the order is in place the harder it is to reverse the order.

Temp orders and divorce
I was curious I am here in Arlington,texas and have gone to court in tarrant county. I actually filed a retsraining order against my wife due to she would talk a lot about killing herself. Well when we went to court she told the courts how she put a protective order against me back in 2007 which was for 2years, but there was not family voilence found. Well she comes back to me and and then marries me. Well the judge comes out at the hearing for a divorce and an amicus gets involved. The judge looks at me like I am a criminal and decides to do the temp orders I see my daughter every weekend and her mother gets her through the week. She went and got a job before the court eharing, but got fired 2 months later. I have been on my job 4years. We were both orderd to take classes I had to take a BIP class and she had to go to a batter for women class. Even if me and my attorney do a motion I just feel that the judge will still award our daughter to her mother. She was ordered to undergo a psychological evaulaution and has not done it.
