Types of Emergency Orders Available in Colorado

Colorado courts recognize several types of emergency situations that warrant immediate legal intervention. These orders provide temporary relief while allowing time for proper legal proceedings to address long-term solutions.

New Beginnings Family Law can help you file for:

Emergency protective orders. These orders provide court-mandated protection from domestic violence, harassment, or threats that pose immediate danger to you or your children's physical safety and emotional well-being.
Emergency custody orders. Temporary custody arrangements are used when children face an immediate risk of harm, abduction, or removal from Colorado, protecting their safety until formal custody proceedings can be completed.
Emergency support orders. Immediate financial support can be arranged when one party has cut off access to funds, left dependents without resources, or created situations where basic needs cannot be met during legal proceedings.
Restraining orders for asset protection. Court orders can be obtained to prevent the destruction, sale, or hiding of marital property when there's evidence of financial misconduct or attempts to dissipate assets before division.
Emergency relocation restrictions. Orders can be issued preventing a parent from moving children out of state or significant distances when such moves would interfere with custody rights or ongoing legal proceedings.

Each type of emergency order requires specific evidence and legal justification, and our experienced team can help you understand which options apply to your situation and how to present the strongest possible case to the court.

Understanding the Limitations of Emergency Orders

While emergency orders provide crucial immediate protection, they come with important limitations that families must understand. These orders are temporary by nature, typically lasting only until formal hearings can be scheduled, usually within 14-21 days. The emergency standard requires showing immediate and irreparable harm, which means situations that are serious but not urgent may not qualify for emergency relief.

Emergency orders also provide only basic protections and cannot address complex property division, detailed custody schedules, or comprehensive support calculations that require thorough review and formal proceedings. Courts may be reluctant to grant emergency orders when the requesting party has had opportunities to address the situation through regular legal channels but has delayed action.

How Emergency Orders Impact Future Negotiations

Emergency orders can significantly influence the direction and outcome of your ongoing family law case. Successfully obtaining emergency protection often demonstrates the severity of your situation to opposing counsel, potentially encouraging more reasonable settlement discussions and collaborative approaches to resolving underlying issues.

However, emergency orders can also increase conflict and make negotiations more challenging, especially if the other party feels the emergency motion was unnecessary or overly aggressive. Courts may use emergency orders as starting points for temporary arrangements, which often influence final custody, support, and protection decisions. The evidence presented in emergency proceedings becomes part of your permanent case record and may be referenced throughout future negotiations and court hearings. Understanding these dynamics can help you decide when to pursue emergency relief and how it fits into your overall legal strategy for achieving long-term resolution.
