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.
Motion: A motion is an application made to the judge by the lawyer for one of the parties. Motions may be oral or written and are made to obtain an order, ruling or direction in favor of the applicant.
