I received a summons for court but my situation cannot wait that long. What do I do to have the matter expedited on the Court’s docket?

Please file a Request for Expedited Hearing (PDF).


Please make sure you articulate the exact reasons your case should be set ahead of everyone else.


Please note: while the Court understands that sensitive matters such as child custody, visitation, and child support are extremely emergent to each individual’s family, we cannot possibly grant every emergency hearing request.


Please limit requests to those of a truly emergent nature where someone’s life, physical, or emotional well-being are in danger.
