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.
A Verified Rely is a reply that is sworn to by the party filing the Reply. In other words, the content of the Reply is sworn to under oath by that party. An affirmation in a Reply is like an affidavit. It is a Declaration of a witness or party in written format that can be filed or attached to a pleading.
Verified answers must admit or deny each and every paragraph of the complaint, and must also contain a verification signed by the defendant or defendants stating that they have read the answer and everything contained therein is true and correct to the best of their knowledge.
