Legal Question in Family Law in California
If I have an ex- parte hearing that I am the respondent to in a family court matter, do I have the opportunity to submit a �responsive declaration� to the court on the day of the hearing? I just received notice today and the hearing is this Wednesday. I am in San Diego County.

You can prepare a response to submit to the court at the hearing on Wed. But, even if you don't, the judge should listen to what you have to say. Most file a response by the second hearing about 21 days later.

If you have the other party's paperwork, you can prepare a response. If the matter is not truly an emergency, you can also ask the judge to deny the matter on an ex parte basis, and set it for a noticed hearing, such as an OSC or a motion.
