Declaration Re Ex Parte Notice {VN028}

VN028 - DECLARATION RE EXPARTE NOTICE. This form is used in the Superior Court of California, County of Ventura, when a party is seeking emergency court orders through an ex parte application. An ex parte request is made when one party asks the court to take immediate action, often without the usual waiting period or formal notice to the other party. The purpose of the form is to document whether proper notice of the hearing was given to the opposing party or their attorney, and if not, to provide a valid explanation for why notice should be excused. The form requires the declarant (the person making the request) to state how and when notice of the hearing was provided, including details such as the method of communication (telephone, in person, voicemail, or written notice), the location of the court hearing, and the specific orders being requested (such as domestic violence restraining orders, civil harassment restraining orders, custody/visitation orders, or other civil/probate matters). If notice was not given, the declarant must explain the reasons—such as the inability to contact the other party, risk of immediate harm, or the possibility that notice would frustrate the purpose of the order. By signing, the declarant affirms under penalty of perjury that the information provided is true and correct. Optional form. www.FormsWorkflow.com
