Re: Legal advice for ex-parte order staying execution to prevent eviction
I have already spent much time corresponding with you, after earlier "Law Guru" questions.
Don't worry about legal format. The judge will know you are not an attorney.
Write notes to yourself, and prepare to present your case to the judge, but as I have already told you, you must be brief. You constantly ramble on, and you need to tell the judge your "story" in a relatively short period of time.
If you haven't impressed the judge with your reasons in the first few minutes, you won't. Also he/she may interrupt you with questions.
During the night, I would write about a half-dozen sentences that slowly tell the judge what you want him/her to rule, and why.
Good luck!
