I was granted temporary custody with my restraining order. Will I still have temporary custody of my children in the U.S. Virgin Islands?

As long as the child custody provision complies with certain federal laws,1 the U.S. Virgin Islands can enforce a temporary custody order that is a part of a protection order.

To have someone read over your order and tell you if it meets these standards, contact a lawyer in your area.  To find a lawyer in your area click here VI Finding a Lawyer.

1 The federal laws are the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Act (UCCJA) or the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act (UCCJEA), and the Parental Kidnapping Prevention Act of 1980.
