Overview. If one party to a case has filed a motion with the court, the other side can file an ?opposition.? An ?opposition? is a written statement explaining to the judge why the other side is not entitled to whatever he is asking for in his motion. It is your opportunity to oppose the other side's request.

STEP 1: Complete the Certification in Opposition to Motion and Certification of Service (Form A). The Certification in Opposition to Motion tells the court the reasons why you object of the ruling requested by your adversary and why the court should deny the request. Fill in the required information.

Motions for summary judgment must be filed and served at least 28 days before the return date, and oppositions must be filed and served 10 days before the return date. The date for the reply is at least 4 days before the return date, which is the same as for regular motions.

The Application/Cross Application to Modify a Court Order is a written request in which you ask the court to change or enforce an existing court order. The court will change an order only if important facts or circumstances have changed from the time the order was issued.

The last part of motion practice prior to oral argument in Court, is the filing of a Reply Certification to the Cross Motion. At this stage, as the moving party, you would be responding in writing to the Cross Motion and reiterating some of your main points from the motion.

Whoever wants the change must file papers at the Court, and ask for a hearing or conference. The law says that whoever wants the change has to prove that there are major changes in their money situation that they can't control, and that the changes are going to last for a long time.
