What does “motion for reconsideration is granted”mean?
Does it mean that the person automatically got what he asked for? My ex-husband took me to court asking for more visitation time. The judge increased summer vacation time from 2 weeks to 2 blocks of 2 weeks for both of us. Then ex-husband filed a motion for reconsideration, asking the judge to only give him 2 blocks of 2 weeks, and give me only 1 block of 2 week time based on his prediction, that I might choose my time in a way that enables him to have his vacation time. I got a notice from the court the the motion for reconsideration is granted.

It does not mean that his apecific request for him to have 2 blocks of 2 weeks and you only 1 block of 2 weeks was granted. It means that the judge has granted him the opportunity to bring the issue up before the judge again. It means that you will have to go to court to oppose the application once again and put in papers to support your side. Check for court dates. I might contact an attorney at this point in time. Good luck.
