Ch 115 Info How To Ask For A New Hearing Date Civil Harassment Prevention Judicial Council Forms

Use a CH 115 INFO How To Ask For A New Hearing Date Civil Harassment Prevention Judicial Council Forms 2020 template to make your document workflow more streamlined.

What the CH-115 form does

The CH-115 is a California Judicial Council form used to ask for a new hearing date in a civil harassment prevention matter. The filer identifies the case, current hearing information, requested date or reason for the change, and contact details requested by the form. It is a request, not an automatic continuance or replacement for a court order. After completing the applicable fields, the filer signs according to the court’s instructions and submits the form through the required local process. Check the court’s current filing guidance before relying on electronic delivery.

Self-represented parties

Self-represented parties can prepare the hearing-date request, review case information, and coordinate signatures before using the court’s required submission method.

Legal services teams

Privacy pitfalls when handling CH-115

  • The CH-115 may contain addresses, hearing details, and personal information that should be shared only with authorized recipients.
  • A signer may complete the signature field without confirming that every hearing-date and case detail is accurate.
  • Unrestricted folder permissions can expose a signed request and its audit trail to people outside the legal workflow.
  • Emailing an unsigned draft instead of the final signed copy can create uncertainty about which version was submitted.

Legal standing and filing limits

Electronic execution of a CH-115 request may be supported by ESIGN, 15 U.S.C. ch. 96, and applicable California electronic-transactions law when intent, consent, attribution, and record access are established. Those laws do not guarantee court acceptance, waive local filing rules, or replace court orders and official court filings excluded by ESIGN.

Why teams look for DocuSign alternatives

Best practices for completing CH-115

Careful field review, court-specific filing checks, and paired retention of the signed request and audit trail reduce avoidable problems.

Review every CH-115 field

Upload the current court version of CH-115, then compare every detected field against the printed form. Confirm case identifiers, hearing information, requested change, contact details, and any required explanation before assigning signature fields.

Confirm signer and court requirements

Use signer authentication appropriate to the parties and case sensitivity. Capture consent to electronic records when required, and confirm that the receiving California court permits electronic signatures or electronic delivery for this request.

Preserve the signed record

Export the completed CH-115 with its signNow audit trail, then store both files together in access-controlled case storage. Apply the court’s retention instructions or the organization’s documented legal-record policy rather than inventing a universal period.

Verify filing acceptance

Before submission, compare the signed request with the court’s current local instructions. A signNow completion record shows signing history, but it does not establish that the clerk accepted the filing or granted a new hearing date.

CH-115 preparation and completion stages

The form has no verified universal processing deadline in the supplied authority, so coordinate timing with the court’s current instructions and hearing date.
