Custody Case Dismissal Motion
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
I’m looking for a qualified legal drafter to prepare a complete Motion to Dismiss for a custody and visitation case that was mistakenly filed as a duplicate in Fresno County, California.
What I already have
• An active, original case file number and supporting evidence that proves the new filing is duplicative.
• Key dates, party names, and the docket history needed to reference in the motion.
What I need from you
1. A fully formatted California-compliant Motion to Dismiss, ready for me to sign and file.
2. A concise supporting declaration/affidavit section that cites the facts and exhibits I’ll provide.
3. A proposed order page and proof-of-service template that meet Fresno County Superior Court rules.
4. Clear filing instructions so I can submit the paperwork without additional attorney appearance.
Scope and standards
• Follow California Family Code and local Fresno County court formatting (fonts, margins, line numbering, caption style).
• Use plain, persuasive language that cites the existence of the previous case as grounds for dismissal.
• Flag any optional sections I may personalize, but keep the structure court-ready.
Deliverable format: editable Word document (.docx) plus a clean PDF copy. I will review, insert signatures, and file. If you have experience with California family law or Fresno County filings, please highlight that.
