A: Generally at this point, the court will just go with its order. It is now to late to respond. He could move to reopen the action in limited circumstances such as not receiving the motion. Though here because he did respond a few days late it seems as though he did receive the motion.

A: This could go either way. The judge could stick with it's order. On the other hand, the judge may feel it is appropriate to have a hearing if your ex's letter raises substantial issues the court wants to resolve.
