    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.
