When should I file for emergency relief?
If a victim of domestic violence believes that there is a danger of serious and immediate injury to him or her, that person may file a motion for emergencyrelief. The motion may be filed separately. In the interest of speed, one may instead include in the verified complaint’s prayer for relief a statement asking that the verified complaint be received as a motion and affidavit supporting both emergency relief and all further court orders. Finally, Rule 65 dealing with injunctions provides an avenue through which to bring the motion.
