A: To transfer the TRO from Court A to Court B, John should file a Request for Transfer of TRO (form DV-124) with Court A. The form should include the reason for the transfer and a copy of the FL-100 filed with Court B.

If John files the Request for Transfer of TRO on March 10, the TRO hearing scheduled for March 23 will still take place at Court A unless Court A grants the transfer before that date. If the transfer is granted, the TRO hearing will be held at Court B on a date determined by the Court.

It is up to the judge at Court A to determine whether or not to grant the transfer upon receiving the Request for Transfer of TRO. If the transfer is granted, the TRO will be transferred to Court B and the hearing will be held there.
