Section YAE.08.07 — Temporary Custody And/Or Placement Orders

(b) Notice of motion for a temporary order may be served when the action is commenced, or any time after, and shall be accompanied by an affidavit stating the basis for the request for relief and, when appropriate, an explanation of the need for immediate action.

(c) The Court will schedule a hearing on such temporary orders as soon as reasonably possible, but not later than twenty (20) days after the motion is filed.
