1:6-3. Filing and service of motions and cross-motions
(a) . . . no change
(b) Cross-Motions. A cross-motion may be filed and served by the
responding party together with that party's opposition to the motion and noticed
for the same return date only if it relates to the subject matter of the original
motion, except [. Other than] in Family Part motions brought under Part V of
these Rules [, a] where a notice of cross-motion may seek relief unrelated to that
sought in the original motion. A cross-motion relating to the subject matter of the
original motion shall, if timely filed pursuant to this rule, relate back to the date of
the filing of the original motion. The original moving party's response to the cross-
motion shall be filed and served as provided by paragraph (a) for reply papers.
The court may, however, on request of the original moving party, or on its own
motion, enlarge the time for filing an answer to the cross-motion, or fix a new
return date for both. No reply papers may be served or filed by the cross-movant
without leave of court.
(c) . . . no change
