Can I make my order permanent if I have had an ex parte order of my son for 1 year and 5 months?

You can ask that the Court enter it as a permanent order, but you?ll have to file some sort of motion to ask that the Court do so. If you have a completely non-responsive opposing party, the best approach is probably to ask the court to hear permanent custody and then just ask that the ex-parte be entered as a permanent order.
