When you file the form as directed, make sure you file it in the correct court, San Bernardino. Since it is the 3rd and you have a court date tomorrow there, you will want to file it before your scheduled appearance and serve the other party both by mail and an extra copy to serve in person since there won't be time to arrive before the court date. Be sure to arrive in enough time to file before your court date and have a copy for the other party, if your appearance is first thing, besure to let the court know you have the papers but no time to file. You can file by fax if you go to a service authorized by the court, the family law facilitator should be able to tell you where to find this service, or possible the San Diego courts can contact SB court. There is a charge for FAX FILING but that will be less than the cost of traveling to San Bernardino for it. If you can do this today, call the clerk in San Bernardino Co after the motion has been received, a judge may be able to rule on your moyion today, be sure to let them know she was FTA for previous court dates in San Diego. IMPORTANT: If you can't get this resolved today, then you will have to appear. Here is a link for SBcourts where you can look up case information, please note they update system in early am so most likely your transactions will not show up until tomorrow, but you can still go there and check the status of that case
