QUESTION
How long does the filing process in court take?
Asked on May 27th, 2016 on Family Law - Florida
More details to this question:
I recently filed a Motion for Contempt against my ex wife. It got filed with the court 4 days ago. What happens now? Does the court have to verify it before it gets sent to my ex wife? Also, how long does it take from being filed to my ex wife receiving it?
1 ANSWER
It can take for the court up to a week to process the filing. The court does not send the motion to your former wife. It is your responsibility to do that. Also, you are responsible for setting it for a hearing by calling the case manager or the judicial assistant for your judge.
