Description
PETITION AND AFFIDAVIT SEEKING EX PARTE ORDER REQUIRING INVOLUNTARY EXAMINATION. This form is used to request a court order for the involuntary examination of an individual who may be experiencing mental health issues. The petitioner (someone close to the individual) provides information to the court about the individual’s behavior and the need for an involuntary mental health evaluation. The petition outlines the individual's recent actions that pose a risk of harm to themselves or others, or suggest they are unable to care for themselves due to a mental illness. If approved, the court can issue an ex parte order for law enforcement to take the individual to a facility for evaluation. The form includes personal and behavioral details about the individual, along with a sworn statement by the petitioner. www.FormsWorkflow.com
