SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Custody and visitation; ex parte orders. Limits when an ex parte order establishing or modifying custody or visitation to situations where the child would be (i) subjected to an imminent threat to life or health to the extent that severe or irremediable injury would be likely to result, or (ii) in cases to establish custody or visitation, removed from the court's jurisdiction to the child's immediate detriment. The party applying for an ex parte order must show that he has made a good faith attempt to give notice to the other party or that giving such notice would compound the threat to the child. If an ex parte order is entered, a preliminary hearing must be held within five business days where the party applying for the ex parte order must present his application de novo.
