It's from the person I'm fighting against. So is he changing his motion!?

No. A motion to amend is just a request from the court to modify a pleading either by striking out an allegation or name of a party incorrectly stated or by correcting inadequate allegation or description in any other respect. If you're being invited to hear the motion it means that you are being given a chance to contest any amendments that the other party wants to introduce in a pleading that could prejudice your cause of action or defense. If the court allowed any amendments that had been introduced then the amended pleading will supersede the pleading it amends.

Motion = request
Amend = alter or change
Pleading = previously filed papers

To me it means you can't change or amend the proposed bill to change or amend the amendment. It means that what you see in the proposed change is what you get, they can't add to it or delete from it. Good luck to you

The other party wants to change something they already filed with the court. For example they were suing you for $4,000 and they want to change it to $5,000, or if you're suing them they want to change something in their answer.

Your attorney is asking the judge to change something you previously said on the record.
