FAQ
The Ex Parte Application must show there is an emergency such that there will be irreparable harm or immediate danger if the order is not granted. An Ex Parte Application should only be filed when there is not enough time to hear a regularly noticed motion (16 court days minimum).
Legal Examples: A Show Cause Order is issued to a party who has allegedly violated a court order. The individual must appear in court to explain why they should not be held in contempt for failing to comply with the original order, such as not paying court-ordered child support.
For example, a party can seek an order granting discovery, or dismissing all or part of an action by bringing an Order to Show Cause. The Order to Show Cause differs from a motion, because it can shorten the required notice time to the other parties.
In California, parents have the right to petition for an emergency custody hearing in family court under certain circumstances to protect their child from imminent harm.
Specifically, pursuant to Uniform Rule 202.7 (f), upon an application for an order to show cause that seeks a temporary restraining order, the application must contain an affirmation demonstrating that there will be significant prejudice to the party seeking the restraining order by the giving of notice.
In New York, this type of substitute motion is called an "Order to Show Cause." An order to show cause can be heard anytime the court directs, even fewer than the usual eight days, and even as short as a few hours later, if the court is convinced there's a real emergency.
New York City ex parte restraining orders or orders of protection are orders issued by a judge while the defendant is not present in court. Ex parte restraining orders can sometimes be the result of harassment offenses, stalking, assault, and sometimes even domestic violence offenses.
An Order to Show Cause is the second way to commence a motion, and it is usually used for emergency applications. An Order to Show Cause is also necessary if some immediate relief is needed, such as a stay, if there is not enough time for a motion on notice, and if a different type of service is required.
If you intend to oppose the ex parte application, file your opposition documents as soon as you can. You may bring your opposition to Court with you and file it before the ex parte hearing. Arrive 10 to 15 minutes earlier than your scheduled time. Check in at Window 1 in the filing room.
