EspañolWhat is a motion hearing?
Generally, a motion is a set of legal papers submitted to the court in which a party asks the judge to take some specific action - such as a motion to change a custody order, a motion to dismiss a protective order, etc. Generally, before a judge decides this motion, there will be a hearing, which is a court appearance or a series of court appearances, where both sides will have a chance to argue their case, present evidence, etc. before the judge rules on the motion (decides the motion).
