Emergency Stays in Indiana: Protecting Your Rights

Legal matters can move quickly, sometimes requiring immediate action to prevent irreversible harm. In such cases, filing for an emergency stay may be the best option. An emergency stay halts the enforcement of a court order or legal action while an appeal is pending. 

At Ciyou & Associates, P.C., our attorneys are experienced in obtaining emergency stays and helping clients maintain the status quo until their cases are fully resolved in court.

What Is an Emergency Stay?

An emergency stay is a legal order issued by a court that temporarily suspends the enforcement of a ruling or action, an avenue often pursued when a party believes that immediate harm would result if the lower court's decision were allowed to take effect while an appeal is filed. 

Typically granted temporarily, emergency stays allow the appellate court time to review the matter more thoroughly before making a final decision.

When Is an Emergency Stay Necessary?

  • Child Custody Disputes
    Suppose a court has issued an order that changes custody arrangements, and you believe that the order is not in the child’s best interest. In that case, you may request an emergency stay to prevent the order from being enforced while you pursue an appeal.
  • Deportation Cases
    Individuals facing deportation may seek an emergency stay to halt their removal from the country while their immigration case is appealed.
  • Financial Judgments
    If a considerable financial judgment has been issued against you, an emergency stay can prevent the enforcement of the decision while you contest the ruling.
