Rule 91.7.Other Post-Judgment Petitions

Rule 91.7 is deliberately open-ended, and short.

What it requires

A party seeking post-judgment relief not specifically addressed in Rule 91 or Rules 91.1 through 91.6 files a petition complying with Rule 91 that states detailed facts supporting the requested relief and the specific legal authority that permits the court to grant it.

That second requirement is the distinguishing one. Rules 91.1 through 91.6 each carry their own statutory anchor -- section 25-411 for parenting modification, 25-408 for relocation, 25-414 for enforcement. A petition under Rule 91.7 has no such anchor supplied by the rule, so the applicant must supply it. A party cannot invoke the catch-all merely because their request fits nowhere else; they have to name the authority that lets the court act.

Disclosure

Nothing is specified. The court on motion or on its own may impose additional disclosure obligations of relevant information, witnesses and exhibits. Since the rule cannot know what relief will be sought, it cannot list what should be disclosed, so the calibration is left to the court -- with Rule 91(m)'s general obligations still applying underneath.

A renumbering worth knowing

This rule was formerly Rule 91.6. It was renumbered to 91.7 and amended effective January 1, 2022, when the harassment injunction rule took the 91.6 slot. Anything citing "Rule 91.6" from before 2022 for a general catch-all petition means this rule.
