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.
Examples of motions you may hear in court include: 1  A motion to suppress physical evidence on the grounds that it was seized during an illegal search by the police (a Mapp or Dunaway hearing); 2  A motion to suppress a statement made by the defendant on the grounds that it was illegally obtained (a Huntley hearing).
