Legal Question in Family Law in Missouri

So I am pro se and the opposing counsel in the custody/modification case has made numerous mistakes on Certificates of Service on motions (saying they were hand delivered but they were mailed, and one time not doing it timely but Judge said no harm, no foul...well just did it again, as untimely service and also messed up the paperwork. Just got this email from the attorney today..so question is 1) Is it right for the attorney to try to get me to agree to something like this and 2) what do I do?

I thought I had noticed up both your discovery objections and my motion to dismiss your amended pleadings for tomorrow morning. I now see the notice only covered your objections. If you are agreeable, I would like to take up both matters tomorrow and save everyone another trip to court next week. If not, just let me know and I will file another notice of hearing on the motion to dismiss. Let me know your position. Thanks.

You need to decide if you want both discussed at this hearing, or set another one for your exes Motion. You don't have to agree to waive notice. But, the judge may hear both anyway you object, on the record.

Good luck
