Filing the Documents Take the original and two (2) copies of the Motion to the Civil Division of the Clerk of Superior Court's office in the county where your case is filed. The Clerk will stamp each Motion “filed,” place the original in the Court file and return two (2) copies of the “filed” document to you.
Filing Motions To Resolve The Case Or Narrow Issues You write your motion. You file your motion with the court clerk. The court clerk inserts the date and time your motion will be heard by the judge. You “serve” (mail) your motion to the other side. The other side files a written opposition to your motion with the court.
A motion is a written request asking a judge to do something. It also explains why you want that thing. For example, you might file a motion to change your court date. The court responds to your motion by issuing an order.
