A Washington Motion for Immediate Restraining Order (Ex Parte) is a legal motion filed in the state of Washington to obtain an immediate temporary restraining order (TO) from the court. The motion is filed ex parte, meaning that only one party is present in the court proceedings and the other party is not present or notified. The purpose of this motion is to protect people from any further harm or harassment that may result from the alleged action or behavior of the other party. This motion is typically used in cases involving domestic violence, harassment, stalking, or other civil matters where immediate relief is necessary. The motion must be supported by evidence of the alleged action or behavior, as well as other relevant information such as the identity of the parties involved, the nature of the relationship between the parties, and the need for immediate relief. The motion must also be accompanied by a proposed order, which outlines the terms of the restraining order. In Washington, there are two types of Ex Parte Motion for Immediate Restraining Order: the Family Law Ex Parte Motion and the Civil Ex Parte Motion. The Family Law Ex Parte Motion is used to protect parties in a domestic or family law matter, while the Civil Ex Parte Motion is used to protect parties in civil matters such as stalking, harassment, or other civil matters.
