The "Moving Party" on divorce papers refers to the individual who initiates the divorce proceedings or files the paperwork with the court. This person is typically seeking a legal separation or dissolution of marriage and is responsible for presenting their case and any requests for relief, such as custody arrangements or asset division.

It's advisable for parties to act within a reasonable timeframe to avoid complications.
