If you want to file a motion, the process is generally something like this: 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.
One or both of the parties can file what is called a petition to partition to ask the court to divide the property equitably. The court can then give each party their share of these partitions, or force the sale of the property and apportion the proceeds ingly.
In a few situations, a judge can cancel or undo an order or judgment in your family law case. This is called a set-aside.
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.
A motion to vacate (and set aside) judgment essentially asks the court to erase or correct its prior decision (judgment). Under California law, when you vacate judgment, it will be officially wiped off your record.
A motion to vacate is the procedure used to remove the Speaker of the House. It's a rarely used procedural tool that allows any Member of Congress to introduce a resolution, declaring the speakership to be vacant.
In law, a motion to set aside judgment is an application to overturn or set aside a court's judgment, verdict or other final ruling in a case. Such a motion is proposed by a party who is dissatisfied with the result of a case.
'Vacating' or 'setting aside' is used when referring to nullifying a specific judgment from the judge (in this case, a guilty or 'no contest' judgment). On the other hand, 'dismissing' applies to the entire case. It means that the case is thrown out for reasons other than its factual merits.
If you do not think the default judgment was appropriately entered against you, you must file a motion with the court asking the judge to “set aside” (void or nullify) the judgment. If the judge grants your motion, the case starts back up again.
