Q: Can you help me put into words what I should write for the motion of temporary hearing?
Hello, I am filing my own divorce paperwork. I am trying to file a motion for temporary hearing for child custody and am having a hard time trying to articulate my words to put on the form. It has been 4 months and my soon to be ex husband is not allowing me to see my child. He has sent me numerous messages demanding me to give up my parental rights in exchange for being able to see my child. How do I put this on paper?
A: Unfortunately we cannot write out your argument for a temporary hearing in this forum. It is best that you hire an attorney to represent you because they would have likely filed this motion months ago or tried to come to an agreement with the opposing party on your behalf. If you cannot hire an attorney, you will have to explain your reasons for wanting a hearing and the relief you are seeking. But it’s definitely best that you speak to a lawyer. And although you may not think you can afford one, some of us will work with your budget on payment arrangements. Good luck to you.
