When a divorce or legal separation gets filed, and particularly where there are minor children, it is quite customary that one of the parties would request an initial court hearing to determine temporary issues while the divorce is pending. The ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE AND AFFIDAVIT are the legal papers that get filed to request the initial court hearing. At the initial court hearing, the family court commissioner will decide temporary issues such as custody, placement, child support, health insurance, paying for unpaid medical bills, which bank accounts the parties can use, which vehicles they can drive, what debts have to be paid, along with other similar temporary financial issues. It is quite common, and in some counties, may even be automatically required. I don't know how to comment on the other part of your post, because it sounds like you both have some serious issues and I think you are asking us to weigh in on what your chances may be on getting placement of your children. It is difficult to that from the limited information that you have posted.
