Can I get temporary custody of my child as a part of an order of protection against the other parent?

The judge may give you temporary custody of your child if you are filing for an order of protection against the other parent. The other parent may request visitation at any time during the court case. This visitation may be supervised by a third party if the judge believes that is necessary.1
