Either party can make motions before the court makes a final decision on the matters in your case. An example of a motion is where one party asks the judge for a temporary order concerning where the children will live or how much time they will spend with each parent.
Motions. A motion is a document asking the court to order something in an existing case. You cannot start a case by filing a motion. For example, if you need more than 21 days to answer a complaint or petition, you can file a motion to extend the time to answer. This webpage describes the procedures for motions generally and lists several specific motions, but does not describe the details of those motions.
