Ala Fl 010 Form PDF Details

The ALA FL-010 is a family law form issued by the Superior Court of California, Alameda County. It documents whether the opposing party received proper notice before a temporary emergency order was requested. Courts require this form because emergency orders can be granted without the other party present, so a judge must know whether notice was attempted and whether the lack of notice was justified.

Who Uses the ALA FL-010 Form?

The form is completed by the party seeking a temporary emergency order, which may involve child custody, domestic violence protection, or asset preservation. Both attorneys and self-represented litigants file this form. If you are also filing the ALA FL-035 or ALA FL-040 in Alameda County, submit the ALA FL-010 at the same time.

What Does the ALA FL-010 Cover?

The form asks the filer to state the date and method of notice given to the other party, or to explain why notice was not given. It also asks about anticipated opposition and whether similar emergency requests have been filed before. The filer signs a declaration that all information is true and correct under penalty of perjury. For financial disclosures related to family law matters, see the FL Financial Affidavit.
