Heading: Sufficiency of Facts to Sustain the Trustee Process

Text: [¶ 7] Herbert claims that Susan failed to go forward at the hearing on his motion to dissolve the ex parte order for trustee process. At a hearing on such a motion the plaintiff [has] the burden of justifying any finding in the ex parte order that the moving party has challenged by affidavit. M.R. Civ. P. 4B(j). In its ex parte order the court found that it is more likely than not that [Susan] will recover judgment... in an amount greater than $40,000 and that there is a clear danger that if and when [Herbert] finds out [Susan] is seeking the attachment, he may attempt to conceal [the disability policy]. Herbert did not challenge either of these findings by affidavit. Susan, therefore, had no burden to justify them.
