The court motion you need, written from your answers.

Describe your situation in plain words. We match it to the right motion, ask the questions that motion needs — one at a time — take your signature, and prepare a filing-ready PDF. Then we show you exactly where and how to file it in your county.

The interview is free. A prepared document is $3 — paid only when your PDF is generated.

How it works

Describe it. “My ex won’t hand over the kids on my weekends.” “The sheriff posted a notice.” We match the situation to the motion — you confirm it, or pick from the library.
Answer the questions. A few about you and your case, then the ones your motion needs. Dates matter, so we ask them early.
Sign and download. Sign on screen, pay $3, and your PDF downloads — motion, certificate of service, and the companions your motion requires.
File it, step by step. Your ZIP gives you your county court’s filing steps and links, including the traps specific to your motion.

Most-used motions

Motion for ContinuanceAsks the judge to move a hearing, deadline-driven event, or trial to a later date.Motion to Modify Child SupportAsks the judge to raise or lower an existing child support order because income or needs have materially changed.Motion for Contempt / Enforcement of Court OrderAsks the judge to find that the other party willfully disobeyed a court order and to punish or force compliance — makeup time, fines, fees, or in serious cases jail.Motion to Modify Child Custody / Parenting PlanAsks the judge to change an existing custody or visitation order because circumstances have materially changed since the order was made. Note: in many states this is filed on a mandatory official form (a "Request for Order," "Petition to Modify," or "Rule to Modify") — this document covers the substance; check whether your court requires its own form.Motion for Extension of TimeAsks the judge for more time to file a specific document — an answer, response, or brief — before its deadline passes.Motion to Waive Filing Fees / Proceed In Forma Pauperis (IFP)Asks the court to let you proceed without paying filing fees (and sometimes service costs) because you cannot afford them. It can ride along with any other filing — you can also add it to any motion in this app.Motion to Vacate / Set Aside Default JudgmentAsks the judge to undo a default judgment entered against you so you can defend the case on its merits.Motion to Stay Eviction / Stay Execution of Writ of PossessionAsks the judge to pause an eviction — before judgment, or after judgment to stop the sheriff or constable from executing the writ — while you appeal, pay, or fix the problem.Motion to Compel DiscoveryAsks the judge to order the other side to answer questions, hand over documents, or show up for a deposition after they refused, objected, or ignored the deadline.Motion for Temporary OrdersAsks the judge for short-term rules — custody, support, who stays in the home, who pays which bills — that hold the family steady while a divorce or custody case is pending.

Honest about what this is

Some motions are routine paperwork courts expect people to file themselves — continuances, fee waivers, support changes. Some are not: a motion to suppress evidence or for summary judgment is real legal argument, and this service says so on those flows and points you to a lawyer or legal aid. Every criminal flow starts with a reminder: if you cannot afford a lawyer, you have the right to a court-appointed one. Ask for it.
