Motion Deadline Calculator California

Calculate common California motion filing and service dates with court-day counting, service extensions, and manual local-court inputs.

Use the court hearing date for the motion.

Presets fill the manual court-day field, but you can type your own value.

This field auto-fills the manual extension inputs. You can still edit them.

Manual inputs

Use these when a judge, local rule, special service method, or court closure changes the normal deadline.

Auto preset: 16 moving, 9 opposition, 5 reply. You may type any number.

Useful for electronic service or any court-day extension.

Useful for mail, overnight delivery, or a custom calendar-day extension.

Optional. Add one YYYY-MM-DD date per line for local court closures or special holidays.
