Conn. Practice Book § 34a-23
Motion for Emergency Relief
(a) Notwithstanding the above provisions, any
party may file a motion for emergency relief, seeking an order directed to the parents, guardians,
custodians or other adult persons owing some
legal duty to the child or youth, as deemed necessary or appropriate to secure the welfare, protection, proper care and suitable support of a child
or youth before this court for the protection of the
child or youth. Such orders include, but are not
limited to, an order for access to the family home,
an order seeking medical exam or mental health
exam or treatment of the child or youth, an order
to remedy a dangerous condition in the family or
foster home, an order to provide or to accept and
cooperate with certain services, or an order pro -
hibiting the removal of the child or youth from the
state or the home. Such motions may be heard
at the next short calendar; however, if the exigencies of the situation demand, the judicial authority
may order immediate ex parte relief, pending an
expeditious hearing.
(b) No motion for emergency relief shall be
granted without notice to each party unless the
applicant certifies one of the following to the court
in writing:
(1) facts showing that within a reasonable time
prior to presenting the motion the moving party
gave notice to all other parties of the time when
and the place where the motion would be presented and provided a copy of the motion; or
(2) the moving party in good faith attempted but
was unable to give notice to the other parties,
specifying the efforts made to contact such par -
ties; or
(3) facts establishing good cause why the moving party should not be required to give notice to
other parties.
