Do I have to tell the other person that I am requesting temporary orders? The judicial officers will require that a person who is requesting temporary orders notify the other person that temporary orders are being requested and that a copy of your request is provided to the other person before the Judge reviews it. The judicial officers want to make sure they have all the facts regarding a case before they make a decision on temporary orders. 2. Are there situations in which I don't have to tell the other person that I am requesting temporary orders? If immediate harm could be suffered if notice were given or if giving notice is impossible, you may not have to give notice. If you think you should not be required to give notice, complete No. 3 on the reverse of this form. Be sure and state your reasons for not telling the other person that you are requesting temporary orders. It is possible that the judicial officer reviewing your application may find your reasons for not giving notice insufficient. This can result in your application being rejected until you actually give notice. You should take this into consideration when determining whether or not you are going to submit your application without giving notice. 3. Can I deliver a copy of the documents to the other person myself? Yes you can. If you are afraid, you may have someone else over 18 deliver them for you. If someone else delivers the documents, have that person complete the front of this form. 4. What if the other person is in the Sonoma County jail? How can I deliver documents? If the other person is in the Sonoma County jail, copies can be provided to the other person by delivering them to jail personnel at the front desk of the jail. Also "Friends Outside" whose offices are in the main lobby of the jail, will arrange to have the paperwork delivered to the other person. Friends Outside does charge a small fee for this service. 5. What are the ways I can give notice? Notice may be given in person, by telephone, fax, voicemail message or in writing (excluding text, e-mail or other electronic media).
