Practice question
A court issues temporary custody during a properly pending civil custody action. A parent argues that the temporary order necessarily resolves permanent custody and makes the pending case pointless. Which is sound?
- Temporary always means final and immutable
- Provisional custody is distinct from the final custody determination
- A temporary order automatically dismisses the petition
- Only a criminal court can make any later determination
- Every provisional order is an adoption decree
