More details to this question:
We have been married 9 years but together for almost 18 years. He was unfaithful in our marriage and left me to be with the person he was having an affair with. I filed for divorce and he refused to respond and take the parenting classes in the allotted time frame. We were both completing the divorce without a lawyer. The judge granted me a final hearing since he refused to filed his correspondence. Our final hearing was set for the 22nd of January. Yesterday I received a call that our hearing had bee n canceled because he got a lawyer and filed a counterclaim several days after the deadline. How do I respond to a counterclaim denying his request. I don't have money for a lawyer at this point.

It sounds like you're saying you want to file a motion to strike his pleadings because they're not timely filed. You might be able to make this motion orally in court. You may be able to find the motion in the law library which will be located somewhere near the courthouses in your county. The new opposing counsel might file for a continuance since he or she just got on the case. Even if you can't afford an attorney, you may want to at least get a consultation so you can get some direction on how to proceed.
