Florida Affidavit Respondent is a term used to refer to a person who has been served with a civil court summons or in some cases a judicial notice or other document related to a court proceeding. The Affidavit Respondent is typically asked to sign and return an affidavit (or in some cases just a statement) as a response to the summons or other document. There are two types of Florida Affidavit Respondents: (1) those who have been served with a civil court summons, and (2) those who have been served with a judicial notice or other document related to a court proceeding. In the case of a summons, the Affidavit Respondent must sign and return the affidavit within a certain period of time, typically 20 days. The affidavit must then be filed with the court. If the Affidavit Respondent fails to do this, they may be held in contempt of court. In the case of a judicial notice or other document related to a court proceeding, the Affidavit Respondent must sign and return the statement or affidavit within the timeframe specified in the document. The statement or affidavit must then be filed with the court. If the Affidavit Respondent fails to do this, they may be found in contempt of court.
