TEMPORARY
HEARINGS This
document is a brief overview of temporary hearings in King and Snohomish
Counties. PURPOSE
OF HEARING: The
purpose of a temporary hearing is to temporarily resolve issues between the date
of filing a petition and the final court orders. The
court may address and order: ·
visitation, ·
child support, ·
use of property, ·
payment of critical debts, ·
restraining orders, and other issues To
start the proceedings, a party must make a motion to the court and serve that
motion on the opposing party. ·
Party A makes motion and declaration. A hearing is set at least 14
calendar days (12 days in Snohomish County) after the motion is filed and served
on Party B. ·
Party B responds to the declaration by 12:00 noon 4 days prior (5 days
in Snohomish County) to the hearing date. ·
Party A replies to Party B’s response 12:00 noon 2 days (3 days in
Snohomish County) prior to the hearing date. Party
A makes the first statement and a reply to Party B’s response.
Party B makes only a response to Party A’s declaration.
If
you are the party requesting temporary relief, remember time is very limited
between the response and reply since there is only 2 or 3 days before the
hearing, so please be aware that there may be a slight rush.
