Re: Divorce Action

A motion in limine is a request to the court in advance of trial, asking the court to make a decision about evidence that may be offered during the trial. Generally, the motion asks the court to exclude evidence from the trial for some reason.

I have not seen the specific motion you refer to, so I don't know what the movant is trying to exclude. However,from the title of the motion, it appears that the movant does not want certain evidence admitted because if the judge hears it, he/she may "infer" adversely against the the party trying to keep it out. (This is, of course, a guess on my part)
