A: Motions do not typically require responses. However, a responsive motion or an Answer is required in response to a supplemental petition for modification. You may want to see if you can schedule another status conference with the judge. Additionally, if this was a pre-trial conference, there should be a trial scheduled. The trial may address both the pending motion as well as the Supplemental Petition for Modification of the timesharing.
