MOTIONS IN DIVORCE CASES FOR FINANCIALLY RELATED RELIEF
During divorce actions, either the plaintiff or the defendant is allowed to file a motion with the Probate and Family court seeking orders pertaining to financial matters, including orders to get money back that was taken by the other spouse or to obtain financial records. Motions are filed with the court and consist of a request for hearing, an affidavit of facts supporting the request, and perhaps the law that supports the request.
Some of the common motions family law litigants file that relate to financial issues during divorce or separate support include:
- Motions to inspect safety deposit boxes or safes;
- Motions to compel inspection of certain property;
- Motions to provide federal and state tax documents;
- Motions to compel the return of funds taken from a joint account;
- Motions to provide bank statements;
- Motions to return credit cards or debit cards;
- Motions to set aside transfers of property or money;
- Motions to return personal property including gold, silver and other valuables;
