Continuing Your Elder or Dependent Elder Court Case
There are two ways you can continue your court date on your elder or dependent case. If you have been unable to serve the defendant, you will need to obtain an “Application and Order for Reissuance of Order to Show Cause (Elder of Dependent Adult Abuse),” Judicial Council form EA-125. You may obtain a copy of the form at any clerk’s office between the hours of 8:00 am and 5:00 pm or you can download the form by clicking here. The form must be completed and filed along with a copy of your prior Application for Elder or Dependent Adult Abuse Order attached to the form, prior to the date of your scheduled hearing. You may also orally request a continuance in court during your hearing. If you request for continuance is granted, the Judge will sign the Application and Order for Reissuance form for you to obtain a new hearing date. Both methods of continuing the court date extend you Temporary Restraining Order so you will be protected until the new hearing date.
