Step 2: A judge will review your petition and can issue you a temporary order

The judge will review your petition and might ask you some questions at an ex parte hearing. Ex parte means that the abuser was not notified beforehand or was not present in court. If you are not in court but rather your attorney is filing the papers for you, the judge can still issue the ex parte order based on what you wrote in your petition. The judge can issue an ex parte order if they believe that notifying the abuser ahead of time would further endanger the safety and welfare of you or your children.1

The order will last for up to ten days until the case is set down for a “show cause hearing.”2

You can have a victim advocate in court with you during the hearing.3
