In Utah divorce cases, and other civil litigation for that matter, there various types of motions that can be filed for relief. The most common motion for family matters is the motion for temporary orders. Temporary orders permit a client to get relief that can last throughout the proceedings until a final divorce decree has been entered. Common relief sought is for temporary child custody, child support, and alimony. In order to get relief in any type of motion the party who files the motion carries the burden of proving that he is entitled to relief.
