Q: What does it mean when a Motion for judgment on the pleadings has been filed in a divorce? How do I proceed?
I filed for an uncontested divorce in Henry County, GA, on 2/16/24, with no assets to split or children in the marriage. I received notice on 3/25/24 that the judge would not enter an order at this time as a Motion for Judgement on the Pleadings had been filed with the Court.
A: You have opted to represent yourself. Which means, you have to file the proper documents in order to obtain a divorce, just as if you were an attorney. They have given you the name of the motion that needs to be filed, but they will not instruct you as to how to draft said motion. If you are continuing to handle this case yourself I would advise you to google the name of the motion and see if you can find examples to use.
