After youve filled out, signed, and dated both forms, make 2 copies of the forms. File your forms. To file your forms with the court:
The law and motion practice in California family law cases is conducted through a motion called a Request for Order or RFO. This means that whenever a family law litigant wishes to ask the court to make any temporary orders, or any post-judgment orders, they will file a motion. A motion then sets a hearing date.
Figure out the deadline to serve Unless the court orders a different time to serve, your server must mail the papers at least 16 court days plus 5 calendar days before your court date. A court day is a day the court is open (Monday through Friday, excluding court holidays (opens in a new tab)).
Identifying Vexatious Litigants The courts can designate someone as a vexatious litigant if they have filed at least five unmerited lawsuits in a seven-year period. The court will also consider other factors such as whether the person has been declared a vexatious litigant in another state or federal court.
Steps to get a court order Start. Fill out court forms for the type of order - or orders - you want. File. File forms with the court and pay a filing fee (or ask for a fee waiver). Serve other person. Serve your spouse or childs other parent by having someone else deliver the forms to them. Go to a hearing.
