These items should be exchanged at least twenty-four hours before the scheduled temporary court proceeding. 3.5.3 In any case in which temporary orders have been entered in an open and active case, whether by agreement of the parties or after a contested temporary orders court proceeding, any attorney or party requesting to modify the existing temporary orders must first request and receive permission from the Court before scheduling any court proceeding on said modification. Attorneys or self-represented litigants requesting a court proceeding to modify temporary orders shall first send a letter or written request to the Court (copying opposing counsel or other self-represented litigants) identifying the provisions of the current temporary orders that you are requesting to modify, outlining the reason for the requested modification, and provide how long you anticipate the court proceeding to modify the temporary orders will last. Once the Court has reviewed and approved the request to schedule a court proceeding to modify temporary orders, the requesting party may schedule the appropriate court proceeding and submit a Notice of Court Proceeding in compliance with these Local Rules.
