INSTRUCTIONS

1. A Motion is a formal request made to the court for an order or judgment.

Motions are used for many purposes. Types of motions include, but are not
limited to: motions to continue a trial to a later date, to modify a previous
order of the court, for temporary child support, for clarification of an order,
for the dismissal of the opposing party's case, for a rehearing, for contempt,
for costs or attorney's fees.

2. A motion is a written statement that includes factual and legal reasons the
court should grant the request.

3. You must serve the motion upon the opposing party or his/her attorney, and
provide reasonable notice of a hearing on the motion.

4. There are several commonly used motions in this forms book. The Florida
Supreme Court has provided many approved motions for some of the most
common Family Law requests. They should be used whenever possible.
These forms are available at www.flcourts.gov, and may be available at the
clerk’s office.

5. All motions and the procedures surrounding the motions are NOT the same.
Pay special attention to the instructions and the motion’s requirements.
