The parties in a high conflict family case brought competing motions for significant relief, including child support, spousal support, exclusive possession of the matrimonial home, and parenting schedules.
The motions were scheduled as short motions limited to one hour.
The court found that the legal and evidentiary issues, which included allegations of family violence and disputed incomes, were too complex to be resolved in a short motion format.
As a result, all motions were dismissed without costs, and the parties were directed to schedule a case conference to properly address the issues.
