Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Florida

Motions state court Florida

I filed a motion, then the defendant answered but took a long time to do so and with ridiculous things in it. Can I answer this response? Can I strike it? How long does the defendants have to answer a motion anyhow in state court? I cannot find that in the civil rules, please help here.
