How long does a temporary custody order last in NC?

Hello There!

I’m involved in a custody case in North Carolina and have been granted a temporary custody order. I’m figuring out how long this temporary custody order will last. Can anyone share their experiences or knowledge about the typical duration of these orders in NC? Also, what factors might influence how long it remains in effect?

Are there situations where the order could be extended or shortened?

A temporary custody order in North Carolina generally remains in effect until a permanent custody order is issued by the court or until the case is otherwise resolved.

A temporary custody order in North Carolina can last until a final custody order is issued by the court, which could vary based on the case’s complexity and circumstances involved.
