Illinois Summons Family is a legal procedure in the state of Illinois that allows for the service of a summons on an individual or family. This summons is typically issued by a court and is used to summon a person or family for a court appearance or to notify them of a court hearing. There are two types of Illinois Summons Family: the Summons and Complaint and the Summons and Notice. The Summons and Complaint is typically issued when someone has filed a lawsuit against a person or family, and the Summons and Notice is used to notify someone of an upcoming court hearing or action. Both types of summons require the party to appear in court at the specified date and time, and failure to do so can result in a default judgment or other legal action.
