Full text of Guam Guam Code Annotated § 3703 — Order for Temporary Custody; Warrant., with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 3703. Order for Temporary Custody; Warrant.
In such proceeding, when it appears to the court or judge either from
a verified petition or from affidavits, that the welfare of the minor will be
imperiled if he is allowed to remain in the custody of the person then
having his care, an order may be made providing for his temporary
custody until a hearing can be had on the petition. And when it appears
that there is reason to believe that the minor will be carried out of the
jurisdiction of the court, or will suffer some irreparable injury before
compliance with such order providing for the temporary custody of the
minor can be enforced, the court or judge, at the time of making the order
for temporary custody, may cause a warrant to be issued, reciting the
facts and directed to the Director of Public Safety, commanding such
officer to take the minor from the custody of the person in whose care he
then is and place him in custody in accordance with such order.
