Yuba Superior Court: An Attorney for a Service Member in a Family Case

The court's form. The Superior Court of California, County of Yuba's local form FL03004, "Ex Parte Application and Declaration re Appointment of Attorney for Military" ("Form Adopted for Mandatory Use", effective July 1, 2003, revised January 4, 2017): the petitioner "applies for appointment of an attorney for respondent in the above-entitled matter pursuant to Title 50 of the United States Code, Appendix Section 520(1)", declaring under penalty of perjury the respondent's branch and service mailing address, how and when the respondent was served, that "The time for respondent to plead expired", and that "respondent has not made any appearance, nor has any pleading been filed on his/her behalf". What it protects. The federal rule is the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act's protection against default judgments: before a default against a defendant in military service, the court must appoint an attorney to represent the service member (50 U.S.C. 3931(b)(2); the 2003 Act renumbered the old appendix section 520 as section 201, which the Code moved to title 50 proper as section 3931 in 2015, and the form still prints the old citation). A service member who has been served in a Yuba County family case should contact the court or a military legal assistance office rather than let the time to respond pass; the court can also stay the case under the Act.
