Declaration re: Notice of Ex Parte Application

San Joaquin Superior Court · Local Forms

Verified current as of July 19, 2026

This form is used to explain to the court why you need a quick decision without the other side being present, and to let them know you've notified the other party (or explain why you couldn't). Someone would use this form when they need urgent court help—like in a family law case for a protective order or child custody matter—and can't wait for a regular court hearing where both sides argue.
