Most writs of attachment are issued ex parte, or without notice.

In a more generic sense, a schedule of additional information that is part of another legal document is often referred to as an Attachment. For example, a Final Divorce Decree or Judgment will often reference and incorporate and attachment which is the Marital Settlement Agreement.

Your Suggestion

1. Attaching a Marital Settlement Agreement to a Final Decree or Judgement
   This is very common and preferred by most courts, but by attaching the agreement it will be either incorporated and/or merged into the final decree or judgment. The acts of incorporating and merging have two unique legal meanings which should be understood before making this request to the court. As a rule of thumb, most agreements are incorporated and not merged into the final decree or judgment.
