You could
stay in a hotel in case of
emergency If your rental unit is rendered unlivable for a time because of damages from a disaster, such as a fire or a storm, the cost of a
temporary hotel
stay would likely be covered by your renters insurance.
Because
emergency jurisdiction often interferes with home state jurisdiction, and therefore can be abused by a parent willing to make false claims about the
stay - at - home parent, the courts generally treat
emergency jurisdiction as
temporary jurisdiction and allow the home state to assume jurisdiction if the
stay - at - home parent starts a proceeding in the home state.
