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.
Attached to the motion will be a memorandum of law which gives the defendantâs legal arguments for dismissing your suit. Each court has different rules about how long you have to respond to this motion, but usually you will have at least two or three weeks to file an opposition to the defendantâs motion to dismiss.
