A motion to compel in family law litigation is filed when one party fails to respond to discovery requests (like interrogatories or document requests) or provides incomplete responses. The motion asks the court to order the non-compliant party to answer fully. Judges typically review the responses and may impose deadlines, sustain objections, or award attorney’s fees if misconduct is evident. This process helps ensure both parties share the necessary information for divorce or family law cases.
