Helendale, CA asked in Family Law for California

Q: How do I give notice for a hearing set due to an ex parte (Family Law - Los Angeles County)?

I am petitioner in my child's custody case and had filed an ex parte. It was granted and a hearing was set to determine supervised visits for the Respondent. The commissioner wrote, "The Court sets the case for RFOMOD - Custody, Visitation on August 12, 2022 at 8:30 AM in Department D. Petitioner is to give notice." I texted the Respondent about our court case, so he is aware. However, is there a specific form for Los Angeles County Family Law that I need to file and serve to him to have on record that I gave notice of the upcoming court hearing?

A: He needs to be served with a copy of your RFO. The RFO should reflect the hearing date, time and location. That's what it means to give notice.
