Do I need to request a hearing for a petiton filed in Kitsap District Court in Washington?
I am filing a petition in Kitsap District Court to request modification of a court order. Do I need to request a hearing or will the judge decide in chambers? If I need to schedule a hearing, where do I find the form?

When you file the motion in court, you ask for a hearing date. The judge won't decide anything in chambers, they never do. There has to be a hearing, open for all to be heard who are affected by the change. So you bring in all the motion papers, tell them you want want a hearing and they will set one. You also have to make sure all involved parties are notified of the hearing before the hearing is held. Usually the same day as when you file the papers in court. You also have to give a certified copy of your petition to the other party. The court certifies it when you file it. Just ask for conformed copies, one for yourself and one for each of any other involved party.
