How do I file an objection to a motion?

In Pennsylvania, filing an objection to a motion is a two-step process. First, the objecting party must file a written form stating their objection. This form, known as an “Objection Form”, must be filled out completely and signed. The form must include the name of the objecting party, the court case number, the motion the objection is responding to, and a description of the objection. The form must also include a signature of the objecting party or their attorney. Once the Objection Form is filled out and signed, it must be served on all parties and the Clerk of Court. This is usually done by mailing or delivering the form to all the parties involved. It is important to note that the Objection Form must be delivered or mailed on the same day it was signed. After the Objection Form has been served, the objecting party must file a “Brief in Opposition” with the court and serve it on the other parties. The Brief in Opposition must explain the objecting party’s legal and factual basis for the objection. The Brief in Opposition must include any law or other authority on which the objecting party is relying, and must be served no later than one business day before the motion hearing. If both of these steps are not completed, the objection will not be officially filed and will not be considered by the court. It is important to make sure all steps are followed correctly and that all forms are complete. Following this process will ensure that the objection is filed properly and in a timely manner.
