Legal Question in Family Law in California

Yes. Give as much detail in your ex parte declaration as to why this situation deserves the immediate attention of the court?

Yes. I agree with Ms. Kock's advice. Since Sacramento has jurisdiction that is where you will have to file the ex parte. I suggest you use one of the family law facilitator's offices to assist you with the documents. They are extremely helpful and generally know their stuff. Sacramento's office is very busy. I volunteered in the Placer county facilitator's office for a few years and they would assist people from other counties. They are very close to Sacramento only about 20 miles away and It would be well worth the drive to seek out their guidance with the documents. They help a lot of people from Sacramento county. Also in El Dorado County the law library has para-legal and attorney volunteers that assist people on certain days. They will help people from other counties as well. I'm not sure what days they are available but call the El Dorado County law library and they will let you know. They also hold clinics on custody.

If you're looking for legal representation in Sacramento or any of the surrounding counties or have questions please feel free to contact my office.

Good luck
