Common Divorce Motions
A motion is a formal written request that is submitted to the court seeking a decision on a specific aspect of a case. The following are some issues that may typically be addressed by motions during divorce proceedings:
- Child Support
- Health and Life Insurance
- Restraining Orders
- Allowances
- Continuance
In some instances, a temporary solution obtained through a successful motion will be able to promote the safety and well being of all parties involved. Moreover, they may be instrumental in bringing some important issues to light. For example, motions for evidence may prompt one party or another to submit to drug tests, physical exams, or mental health evaluations.
Some people will not voluntarily participate in these examinations. Therefore, a court order may be needed to obtain the evidence necessary to prove important facts that bear upon your case. The results of the findings may affect both temporary orders as well as the final divorce settlements.
