Custody Case Court Preparation
Summary
In Idaho, if the opposing party fails to respond to a motion within 21 days, you can request the court to dismiss the case. Ensure your motion aligns with Idaho Rules of Family Law Procedure, particularly Rule 507 for response times and Rule 707 for self-representation notices. If the opposing party hasnt filed a notice of self-representation, it can be a procedural issue. Be prepared to present your motion clearly, stating the lack of response and jurisdiction issues. If the judge allows the opposing party to defend, object respectfully based on procedural grounds. Always check local court rules and prepare your documentation thoroughly.Full Conversation
