Common Motions

Common Family Law Motions explained

Family law cases don’t always move in a straight line. During a divorce, parenting dispute, or other family law matter, you may need to ask the court to make a decision, review an earlier ruling, enforce an existing order, or correct a legal error. These requests are made through legal motions, each with its own purpose, rules, and deadlines.

Below, we explain some of the most common family law motions used in Seattle and throughout Washington State, including writs of habeas corpus, motions for revision, Temporary Family Law Orders (TFLOs), motions for reconsideration, CR 60 motions for relief from judgment, and motions for contempt. Understanding when these motions may apply can help you better protect your rights and make informed decisions about your case.
