Definition. A verified complaint is a sworn document in which the plaintiff tells the court the facts of the case and states what relief is sought.
Verified Answer Every paragraph of the complaint must be answered, and a verification must be included in the response. When you verify a pleading, you are stating that, under penalty of perjury, you are stating the truth.
(c) A defendant shall file a verified answer within 30 days after the service of the summons and complaint. If service is made by publication and personal service has not been made, a defendant shall file such answer within 30 days of the date of final publication.
This may be by a sheriffs officer or a private process server. Delivery may also be made at the defendant's home to a member of the household at least 14 years of age. If personal service cannot be made, then the plaintiff has the option of serving the papers by regular and certified mail.
When the complaint is verified, the answer shall be verified.
If the answer is not verified, the allegations of the complaint are deemed admitted and the plaintiff can move for judgment on the pleadings or move to strike the answer and take judgment by default.
Unless a rule or statute specifically states otherwise, a pleading need not be verified or accompanied by an affidavit.
