Last week we published a general article on the documents necessary to file Temporary Orders. Next week we’ll put up an article on the Motion and Declaration for Temporary Orders.
The Note for Motion Docket is a document that tells the court, and your ex, what kind of motion you’ve filed, when, and where you want your motion to be heard by a Superior Court Commissioner. Make sure that you are scheduling your motion in the right place, either in Seattle or Kent depending upon where your case was filed. Also make sure that you have filed it for the proper time (don’t worry, it’s got handy checkboxes to help you get it right). As of May 2009, all temporary orders motions are heard at 9:30 AM, Monday through Friday, in both Seattle and Kent.
WHY YOU NEED IT
The Note for Motion Docket informs the Court and your ex that you’ve filed a motion. It also tells the Court Clerk when to schedule your hearing. Without this document, your motion will simply be filed in your divorce case file – but there will be no hearing on your motion – doing you very little good.
WHERE YOU GET IT
You can download a blank Note for Motion Docket from the King County Superior Court forms site. You can also pick one up at the Seattle or Kent courthouses.
