Re: Motion for special Relief
A motion for special relief asks the court to order the parties to do something or to stop doing something. It is special as it is something the court might not normally order i.e. child support, equitable distribution.
You do not say how long the couple has been separated which is probably a relevant fact.
To prevail the husband is going to need more than just his say so. That tells me that they may have more.
If your sister doesn't have a lawyer now would be a good time to have one.
If nothing else is clear this now no longer a simple divorce.
If you have any questions feel free to contact me. The initial consultation is free.
