Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Kansas

I live in Labette County Kansas and I am being sued for a private loan. The attorney with Kramer and Frank sent me a notice that reads: Take notice that the court has scheduled a hearing of plaintiff's motion for leave to file amended petition on the above entitled case in District Court of Johnson County Kansas on the 2nd of may 2014 at 1:30. Ok my question is: Can he get a ruling in the Johnson County court when I live in Labette county (about 4 hours away)? Also, this is the same date and time as the case in Labette county. Whats the deal? I sent an objection to this to the Labette county court, do I need to send an objection to Johnson County? The only thing that they are changing is the county I live in because he put Reno County on the other summons.

I would suggest you call the attorney with Kramer and Frank and ask them why the motion was set in Johnson County. You may want to see if they will settle with you for a reduced amount. They may take a less amount payable in installments with a judgment for the whole amount. The judgment would not be used by them as long as you comply with the agreement to make the installments for the settlement amount.
