Hi, I recently had two separate appeals in the court of appeals in Ga that got denied. One for a paupers affidavit, and the other for a custody modification. Today I filed a motion to reconsider the paupers affidavit only with the appeals court. However, I now need to file an emergency custody modification with the lower court due to new harm to the child with my coparent. What can I do?
****, you should promptly file an emergency custody modification petition with the lower court. Ensure you provide detailed evidence of the new harm to the child.
Have you gathered all necessary documentation and evidence to support your emergency custody modification?
Yes, will the pending motion for reconsideration of the paupers affidavit with the ga court of appeals delay the trial court in being able to hear the emergency motion to modify custody
The pending motion for reconsideration of the paupers affidavit with the Georgia Court of Appeals generally should not delay the trial court from hearing an emergency motion to modify custody. Emergency custody matters are typically prioritized due to the urgency of the child's welfare.
Do you need guidance on how to file the emergency custody modification?
i need guidance on how to file the emergency motion motion as a new case in ga superior court and to avoid having it transferred back down to juvenile court who mishandled the case before with biases along with a gal who was biased and a former juvenile court judge who was recused for bias
