Emergency filing — Step 6 of 6

Supporting Declaration

This is your sworn statement — the factual backbone of your entire ex parte packet. Every claim in the FL-300 and FL-305 should be traceable to something in this declaration.

Declaration
What the declaration does

Facts win or lose emergency filings. Not emotion — facts.

The MC-030 (Declaration) is your sworn statement under penalty of perjury. It is the primary document a judge reads to decide whether your situation meets the emergency threshold. Every other form in the packet references or depends on it.

Write in chronological order. Use specific dates, times, locations, and direct quotes where you have them. The judge cannot verify your claims on the spot — they are deciding based purely on whether your facts paint a clear picture of immediate harm.

Vague declarations are denied. "He is dangerous" is not a fact. "On April 18th at 9 PM, Respondent arrived at my residence and threatened to take the child and not return her" is a fact. The more specific you are, the stronger your showing.
Overflow control

Long declarations auto-attach to pleading paper.

If your declaration is too long to fit on MC-030, SharpeSystem will automatically generate a pleading-paper attachment and reduce MC-030 to a summary with a reference to the attachment. Enable this below.
