    What Does "Minute Order" Mean In A Proceeding?
    I'm keeping an eye on my sister's boyfriend's divorce proceeding. In his opinion, his divorce was supposed to be finalized early last August. When that didn't happen, he said "early September". He was scheduled for a hearing this past Monday and yesterday, but the record now shows/states, "Minute Order". Does that mean one or both attorneys, or the judge, want to review all of the minutes of the proceedings before they continue? Thanks for any insight. :confused:

    You are most welcome, glad it helped. Sometimes it's just a bit easier to send you to a link than try to explain it all in my own words. :)

    Hi, my boyfriend just received the minute order from his attorney, it states what she gets but not specific. Like, she gets the harley but there were two harleys involved and he did not specify a year or make. And the attorney fees were not discussed. She gets the house but there is not move out date he said it is up to them to decide. What the heck is that all about is this a legal document? Can she take possession of the house and his harley without a desription being made?
