How do I file an objection to a motion?

To file an objection to a motion in North Carolina, you must first make sure that the court has received a copy of the motion that you are objecting to. Once that is done, you can file your objection with the clerk of court. Your objection should be written in a legal document, or brief, that outlines the reason why you think the motion should not be allowed. You should include any relevant law and facts that support your objection. Once the brief is ready, you can deliver it to the clerk of court. Along with the brief, you should submit any relevant evidence or affidavits to back up your objection. You should also include a Notice of Motion and a Certificate of Service, which is proof that you provided a copy of the objection to the other party. Finally, you must file a Motion for Hearing. This document states your objection as well as the date and time for the hearing. Be sure to mail a copy of the motion to the other party or their attorney and file a copy with the clerk of court before the hearing date. Once all paperwork is filed, the court will schedule a hearing on your objection. At the hearing, a judge will hear both sides and decide whether the motion should be granted or denied.
