This form is used to explain to the court why you need an immediate court order without giving the other person advance notice of your request. You would need this form if you're in a situation requiring urgent court action, such as obtaining a restraining order or emergency custody protection, where waiting to notify the other party could cause harm or defeat the purpose of your request.
This form has fillable fields — you can complete it directly in the viewer on the right.
