How can a child who is acting out sexually be given temporary custody to non custodial parent?

Any parent can petition to modify the custody order if there has been a material change in circumstances.  Then you would have to demonstrate to the court that it is in the child's best interest for there to be a change in custody. This answer is given in accordance with the laws of Virginia and may not be applicable in any other state.  It should not be construed as legal advice, as that would require a more thorough analysis of all of the facts involved in a specific case.  If you need further information or assistance, please feel free to contact my office for a consultation. Case results depend upon a variety of factors unique to each case. Case results do not guarantee or predict a similar result in any future case.
