If the court finds that there is danger to the minor, it may grant some form of custody in the protective order. However, a 50B order’s custody provisions can only last for a year and cannot be renewed. A temporary custody order pursuant to Chapter 50B is without prejudice. It is often advisable to start a custody action to solidify custody after a 50B order is granted. A subsequent custody order entered in a “regular” custody action supersedes a temporary custody order entered in a 50B.
