§ 1351 Temporary orders - Change of custody.

If you're involved in a custody case, the judge doesn't have to wait until the case is fully over to make decisions. While the case is still going on, the judge can issue temporary orders to handle things fairly in the meantime. This means the judge can act quickly if something needs to change before the final ruling comes out.

One important power this gives the judge is the ability to change who has custody of a child while the case is still active. If the current arrangement isn't working or isn't safe, the judge can move custody from one person to another without waiting for the case to fully wrap up. This is meant to protect everyone involved and make sure the situation stays fair while the legal process continues.

Basically, this rule gives judges flexibility. They can step in and adjust custody arrangements as needed, based on what's happening in real time, rather than being stuck with the original setup until the very end of the case.
