Post: How many pages in a motion are too many to submit to court ?

Posted by ssly on 6/02/09
I possess 300 pages of self-incriminating journals and emails that my ex-wife wrote, so I have a lot that I can write into the motion. I am writing the motion, since I fired her. How many pages do you think will start to be too many whereby the busy judge could get upset? I plan to make the motion about 6 pages along with about 15 pages of her writings in the appendix. My ex-wife has mental problems. I have the children, but she is fighting for the kids saying I can't support the our three boys financially because I am disabled from a four car accident on 09/04/07 . I am about finished writing a motion (that includes 5 sub-motions) which is 15 pages long. My lawyer will correct this motion to the correct court jargon and all. My Question: Will a judge read all or most of my long 15- page motions? My lawyer said that judges don't read the motions anyways other than the main topics because they are so busy. Is this true, because I have spent about 60 hours on mine and really can't condense it anymore. My motion is a condensed version containing mostly my ex- wife's damaging and self-incrimination quotations taken from her 300 pages of out-of-this-world writings wherein she falsely accuses police officers, lawyers, her own lawyer, her marriage counselor, and her own pastor of the same things she is falsely accusing me of doing in order to get the kids? I'm just worried I may need to make it shorter, though I don't think I can. I'm also afraid that I wasted probably 45 hours condensing and writing so much out of 50 hours spent on the motion. Thank you.
