CRIPPEN, Judge
(concurring specially)
Appellant’s arguments suggest that, at least for petitions by a party represented by counsel in a pending divorce case, notice should occur in Domestic Abuse Act proceedings if there is not attestation such as this: Absent the granting of immediate relief, harm, not reasonably avoidable, can be expected during the time before notice is given and the hearing is convened. I concur in the majority opinion that such a notice requirement is not demanded by the governing statute or existing rules. Because the issue has not been successfully developed by appellant, we do not have before us the question of whether the ordering of ex parte relief on respondent Jeffrey Whalen’s flawed petitions conflicted with constitutional due process standards.
