An Act To Amend Title 10 Of The Delaware Code Relating To The Family Court Of The State Of Delaware. [SB-55]
This Bill extends the number of days for an emergency ex parte order from 10 days to 15 days. Currently, an ex parte order is issued and a full hearing is scheduled within 10 days. This can be insufficient time to effectuate service of the order and petition on the respondent. If respondent has not been served, the hearing is rescheduled and the petitioner must return to court the following week. Scheduling the hearings within 15 days will allow more time for service on the respondent, and afford more time for the parties to prepare for the hearing.
