Rule 214 – Amended and Supplemental Pleadings – Amendments

May 11, 2021 | Family Law, Idaho

A party may amend the party’s pleading once as a matter of course at any time before a responsive pleading is served or, if the pleading is one to which no responsive pleading is permitted and the action has not been placed upon the trial calendar, the party may so amend it at any time within twenty-one (21) days after it is served. Otherwise a party may amend a pleading only by leave of court or by written consent of the adverse party; and leave shall be freely given when justice so requires, and the court may make such order for the payment of costs as it deems proper. A party shall plead in response to an amended pleading within the time remaining for response to the original pleading or within fourteen (14) days after service of the amended pleading, whichever period may be the longer, unless the court otherwise orders.
