In a family law matter involving parenting and financial issues, the court strongly criticized the parties' prolonged reliance on temporary motions and their failure to advance the case to a final resolution through trial.
Despite a two-year litigation history marked by delays, outstanding disclosure, and uncompleted questioning, the parties brought new motions and cross-motions.
The judge emphasized that endless temporary motions disservice children and burden the court, urging parties to move towards a comprehensive oral hearing.
Ultimately, the parties withdrew their respective motions by consent and were ordered to schedule a Trial Scheduling Conference.
