Scheduling of Motions

(a) Any pendente lite motion filed shall, unless scheduled for the motion docket pursuant to sub- section (c) of this section or otherwise scheduled or docketed by the court, be deemed automati- cally scheduled for the next case date held in the action pursuant to Section 25-50A or, if no future case dates are to be held, then for the time of trial. At least five business days before a case date, each party shall provide to the other party and file with the court a notice listing those of the party’s pending pendente lite motions, if any, that the party wishes to pursue at the case date, in the order of priority that the party wishes the motions to be heard. If a party fails to provide and file such list, or files a motion less than five business days before the case date and the non- moving party objects to having such motion heard on the case date, the motion will not be heard on that date unless the court determines that the interests of justice would be served by hearing it on the case date and doing so would cause no substantial prejudice to the nonmoving party. (b) Each judicial district shall have a regular motion docket for scheduling pendente lite motions. Such docket shall be scheduled on a regular basis, but at least once each month. Motions shall be placed on the motion docket in accordance with subsection (c) of this section. 310 © Copyrighted by the Secretary of the State of the State of Connecticut SUPERIOR COURT—PROCEDURE IN FAMILY MATTERS
