Legal Question in Medical Malpractice in New York

my son received a settlement 10 years ago and he is now 18 and a motion to get it was submitted to the judge as in the settlement it was stated only if he was deemed competent and he was so I was wondering how long does the judge have to answer it, and also if the only requirement was that he was deemed competent can the judge say that he must graduate first?
