Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

I received a letter signed by the Judge in my DV case in response to asking the court staff for instructions regarding the acceptable methods to submit transcripts or evidence that show perjury and evidence tampering. I assumed I�d get a return call with instructions, not a letter from the judge.

I�m suing the plaintiff for malicious prosecution. we have mediation soon where I�m hoping to avoid a trial. The judge, however, copied the plaintiff when advising what I�d need to do to pursue perjury charges. I didn�t want the plaintiff to know this was something I was looking into as it will anger them and make my chances for an amicable mediation slim. Why did the judge copy her? Is that customary? I believe these actions will have a negative effect on me as my ex is extremely vindictive. What can I do?
