The other side can tell the movant and the court why he or she thinks that the movant should not get what he or she wants. This is done in written papers called a response. The Court limits the amount of time the other side has to file a response. File the original response with the Court and send copies to all the parties to the case.
If the other side does not submit a response and/or doesn’t come to court to argue against the court granting the motion, the judge may decide to grant it. If you file a response, the judge will read it before making a decision. In most cases, there is not a filing fee to file a response to a motion.
