Declaration Re: Notice of Ex Parte Application

Orange County Superior Court · Locally Approved Forms

Verified current as of July 16, 2026

This form is used by someone asking a judge to make a quick decision without the other party being present in court, and they must explain in writing why waiting for a regular hearing would cause them harm or unfair delay. A person filing this form would typically be someone in a family law case (like divorce, custody, or support) who needs immediate court action, such as getting a temporary restraining order or emergency custody arrangement.
