A request for order, or RFO, is the act of formally asking (requesting) a judge to make commands (orders) in a family law legal matter. If the judge issues the requested orders the orders become enforceable by the court's contempt power.
The “law and motion” practice in California family law cases is conducted through a motion called a “Request for Order” or RFO. This means that whenever a family law litigant wishes to ask the court to make any temporary orders, or any post-judgment orders, they will file a motion. A motion then sets a hearing date.
Figure out the deadline to serve Unless the court orders a different time to serve, your server must mail the papers at least 16 court days plus 5 calendar days before your court date. A court day is a day the court is open (Monday through Friday, excluding court holidays).

San Diego County Superior Court Rule 2.1. 15 states, "A trial readiness conference generally will be scheduled for four weeks before the trial date." The trial readiness conference is an opportunity for the parties to attempt to resolve the case, or at least limit the issues for trial.
Each of the parties are required to submit papers to the court outlining their side of the case and the orders they are requesting of the court. At the hearing, each party will have the opportunity to submit new information, give testimony, answer questions from the Judge, and argue their side of the case.
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).
