Objecting to a request for a rule 60 hearing

We have been to court for equitable distribution trial. My ex then filed for a rule 59 hearing and was granted the hearing. That was back in August of 2017. When the judge finally files a new judgment and if my ex doesn’t like the new judgment he’ll file for a rule 60 hearing I’m sure. My question is how do I officially object to that? I am pro se and find that the hardest part of all of this is figuring out which forms to file and when. Please help.

You can file a written objection to a motion. There is no pre-printed form for this so you would have to make your own.

You would also need to appear in court on the court date that your ex sets for the motion in order to object to the motion and give your arguments to support why his motion should be denied.
