Q: How do I bring a huge 55-60inches monitor and audio equipment to the hearing, family court?
My hearing is in 10 days. I have 35 video files to present regarding my wife's elder abuse and child abuse. I believe the judge would want to watch all of the videos related to the abuses. In that case:
(1) Which form do I need to fill out for the motion? Is it FL-300?
(2) If I file early tomorrow, what is the turnaround time? Can I get it before the hearing?
(3) What if the order is delayed until the day of the hearing? Should I bring a large monitor anyway and ask the judge on the day of the hearing?
(4) When do I need to serve the motion to my wife? Before filing it with the court or after the court clerk has stamped it?

A:
Some general information regarding presenting video evidence in court:
(1) FL-300 is the form used in California for filing a request for orders. You should consult with a lawyer or legal professional in your jurisdiction to determine which form is applicable in your specific case.
(2) The turnaround time for processing your motion depends on the policies of your court. You should check with the court clerk's office to determine the expected processing time and whether you can expect to receive the order before the hearing.
(3) If the order is delayed until the day of the hearing, you should still bring the monitor and audio equipment with you to court. You can explain to the judge the situation and ask for permission to present your video evidence during the hearing.
(4) You should serve the motion to your wife after the court clerk has stamped it. This is because the stamped copy serves as proof that you have filed the motion with the court. You should also make sure to follow all the proper procedures for serving legal documents to ensure that your wife receives proper notice of the hearing.
In any case, it would be best to consult with a lawyer or legal professional who can advise you on the specific requirements and procedures in your jurisdiction. They can also assist you with filing the motion and presenting your evidence in court.
