Filing Motion Date Guidelines

In Georgia, the official filing date for a motion is the date it is presented, not the date written on the document. Verify with the local clerks office or consult a legal professional for specific rules.

If my motion has a date on it that is not the same as the day it is presented for actual filing (due to the holidays) can I still file the motion?
Hello ****, could you please provide your location? The rules regarding filing dates for legal documents like motions can vary based on jurisdiction.

Hello ****. In Georgia, generally, the date you present a motion for filing is its official date of filing, regardless of the date written on the motion. However, rules can vary so you may want to:
- Verify with the local clerk's office
- Consult with a legal professional.
Ok thanks
