A Motion to Compel is filed by a party seeking information from another party or non-party to a pending lawsuit. The motion essentially asks a judge to require the other party to provide information or documents to the party who filed the motion.
A lawyer will go to the judge and request that the other party be compelled to do something that is in the established custody plan. If the other party still does not abide by the judge's order, they may face jail time.

Another point is that discovery is a process that takes place prior to the trial and the trial is where plaintiff proves its case.
