FAQ
Writing an answer for child custody You'll specify which parts of the petition you agree with, which parts you disagree with and which you don't know about. Your answer can address errors like incorrect dates and locations, plus whether you agree with what the petitioner is asking for (e.g., the type of custody).
You must file a response called an "Answer" within 20 days after being served with legal papers and a summons. The Answers and supporting documents for the most common Family Division proceedings can be obtained on the Florida Courts website at .flcourts.
Be specific. Don't ramble or repeat yourself, and don't include irrelevant information. Don't lie or make assumptions not supported by facts and evidence — include only information that you have personal knowledge of. Don't use inflammatory language or rant about the other parent.
Your header should include the same information that is at the top of the petition: the case number, names of the parties involved, their addresses, dates of birth, lawyers' names, etc. The body of your answer is where you'll respond to the petitioner's claims. Respond to the custody petition paragraph by paragraph.
Send your Answer to the address stated in the Summons that was served on you with the petition. The Certificate of Service that you completed and filed with the court is your proof to the court that you did mail a copy of your Answer to the other side's attorney, or to him/her.
