Renewal of a motion in a divorce case in California

by Stan Burman

A renewal of a motion in a divorce case in California is the topic of this blog post.  

A renewal of a motion in a divorce case in California is authorized pursuant to the provisions of Code of Civil Procedure section 1008(b) and has one very important advantage compared to a motion for reconsideration in that it is not subject to the 10 day statutory time limitation that imposed on motions for reconsideration.  The major disadvantage to renewing a motion is that they can ONLY by brought by the party who filed the original motion.

Code of Civil Procedure § 1008(b) states in pertinent part that “A party who originally made an application for an order which was refused in whole or part, or granted conditionally or on terms, may make a subsequent application for the same order upon new or different facts, circumstances, or law, in which case it shall be shown by affidavit what application was made before, when and to what judge, what order or decisions were made, and what new or different facts, circumstances, or law are claimed to be shown.”

A request to renew a motion may be filed in a divorce, legal separation or nullity case in California under the provisions of Family Code § 210 which states that, “Except to the extent that any other statute or rules adopted by the Judicial Council provide applicable rules, the rules of practice and procedure applicable to civil actions generally, including the provisions of Title 3a (commencing with Section 391) of Part 2 of the Code of Civil Procedure, apply to, and constitute the rules of practice and procedure in, proceedings under this code.”

Certain requirements must be met in order to successfully renew a motion in a divorce case in California. The party seeking to renew the motion must make a showing of new or different facts, circumstances or law since the date of the original order that the moving party was not aware of and could not have discovered with reasonable diligence.  If they fail to comply with the statutory provisions their motion will most likely be denied.

The California Courts of Appeal have stated in several decisions that a ruling on a motion is not res judicata, and a trial court has jurisdiction to consider a renewal of a previous motion.
