Florida General Motion To Dismiss Form

by Kimberly from Tampa, Florida, Hillsborough County

Is there a general motion to dismiss form in Florida? I am looking for a general motion to dismiss form that is not a PDF file.

Answer to Florida Court Forms Question

Dear Kimberly,

Here you go. This is the basic format for a motion.

You could also copy and paste from a pdf to another format like word or wordpad.

Be sure to fill in all the blanks correctly:

• The header with the circuit number, and the county name;
  
  
• the petitioner's and respondent's names;
  
  
• the case number;
  
  
• the name of the motion (such as... Motion to Dismiss for Lack of Standing);
  
  
• after "Comes Now the" designate whether you are the petitioner, the respondent, plaintiff, or defendant (you remain one or the other throughout your case);
  
  
• it is important to state your reasons for asking the court to dismiss the case;
  
  
• fill in the certification that shows that you have provided a copy of this to the other party and how you provided it;
  
  
• address of the other party (or the address of the other party's attorney if they have one);
  
  
• your signature and your address.
