Emergency filing — Step 5 of 6

Declaration Regarding Notice — FL-305

FL-305 is the form that becomes the actual signed court order. The judge reads what you write here and either signs it, modifies it, or denies it. Your notice declaration also lives on this form.

FL-305

This is the form the judge signs — or doesn't.

FL-305 (Temporary Emergency (Ex Parte) Orders) is the actual order document. The judge reads the specific language you provide here and either signs it as written, modifies it, or denies it. Unlike the FL-300, which explains your request, the FL-305 is what becomes the enforceable court order on the day of filing.

FL-305 also certifies the notice status — whether the other party was told about this hearing and when. The court evaluates notice at this step before ruling on anything else.

Judges scrutinize this form more closely than the others. The order language here is what gets signed — or denied. Vague orders ("protect the child from harm") give the court nothing to enforce. Specific orders ("no removal of the minor child from [county] county pending the noticed hearing") can be enforced by law enforcement the same day.

Write the exact language you need the judge to sign.


Write this as the order itself — not what you want, but what you want the judge to sign. Each order on its own line. Be specific.
