A Louisiana Motion for Extension of Time is a legal filing that allows a party to request additional time to respond to a legal document or to take some other action in a legal proceeding. This filing is often used when a party needs additional time to research the facts of a case, or to prepare a motion or other filing. There are two types of Louisiana Motions for Extension of Time: 1) Motion for Extension of Time to File an Answer or Pleadings, and 2) Motion for Extension of Time for Other Purposes. A Motion for Extension of Time to File an Answer or Pleadings can be used when a party has been served with a legal document such as a complaint, and needs additional time to file a response. A Motion for Extension of Time for Other Purposes can be used when a party needs additional time to take some other action such as filing a motion or other legal document, or to attend a hearing or trial.
