How To Ask For A New Hearing Date {DV-115-INFO}

DV-115-INFO, How to Ask for a New Hearing Date (Domestic Violence Prevention), this form explains how to ask the court to reschedule your court date. You may need to ask for a new court date if: • You are the protected party and are unable to have form DV-109, Notice of Court Hearing, and other papers served in time before your court date. • You are the restrained party and it is your first time asking the court to reschedule your court date. • You have a good reason for needing a new court date (the court may grant your request to reschedule your court date on a showing of “good cause”). What does form DV-115 do? Use form DV-115 to ask the court to reschedule your court date. If your court date is rescheduled and a Temporary Restraining Order (form DV-110) was granted, that order will be extended until the end of your new court date, unless the court decides to modify or terminate it. “Extend” means to keep any temporary orders in effect until the new court date.
