Investigation of Report of Child Abuse or Neglect · Protective Order in Certain Cases of Abuse or Neglect
If the court finds from the information contained in an application for a protective order that there is an immediate danger of abuse or neglect to the child, the court, without further notice to the respondent and without a hearing, may enter a temporary ex parte order for the protection of the child.
