Motion In Limine Guidance

Summary

A motion in limine can be filed to exclude irrelevant or prejudicial information in a breach of trust case. To challenge a judges view on delays due to lawyer changes, a motion for reconsideration may be needed, typically within 30 days of the order. Filing outside this period may lead to rejection. Consult a local attorney for guidance on your specific situation.

Hi Carl! What kind of legal issue are you dealing with?
you recently taught me about a motion in limine. Im a pro se beneficiary in a breach of trust case. The opposing side has repeatedly failed to accurately account for assets and blames their failures on my changing of lawyers over that period of time. They also made baseless allegations about a sibling living in the house th trustee wants. This sibling lives independently with support from ARC. can I file a motion in limine to prevent them from using those defenses? The judge said in a recent order that she feels the change in lawyers is the reason for the delay. Not sure if I can challenge that this late or not? The most recent hearing was 2 months ago. We have a bench trial in 2 months
Hey Carl! You can file a motion in limine to exclude irrelevant or prejudicial information, like the baseless allegations about your sibling. However, to challenge the judge's view on lawyer changes causing delays, you might need to file a different motion, such as a motion for reconsideration.
Do you have any specific evidence to support your motion in limine?
can i submit a motion for reconsideration if the heariing was january 22nd?
In Indiana, you can file a motion for reconsideration, but it typically has to be done within a specific time frame after the judge's order. Generally, this period is 30 days. Since your hearing was on January 22nd, you might be outside this window.
Would you like information on any other legal options available to you?
what happens if I try to submit it now?
Case Rating: *
If you try to submit a motion for reconsideration now, the court might reject it for being outside the allowable time frame. However, it's always worth consulting with a local attorney for a more definitive answer or exploring other legal options.
