FAQ
Your response to the complaint is called the answer. You should respond to each paragraph of the complaint matching your response to the exact number used in the complaint. Be very careful with the statement you make in your answer. These statements can become admissions of facts that could be used against you.
When served with a complaint, a person can either: (1) file a motion to dismiss under the relevant federal or state court rules; or (2) draft an answer.
Contact the clerk's office of the court where the lawsuit was filed. You'll find a phone number and address for the clerk's office on your summons. The clerk will be able to tell you exactly what documents you should file with your answer and whether any filing fee is required.
Provide the name of the court at the top of the Answer. You can find the information on the summons. List the name of the plaintiff on the left side. Write the case number on the right side of the Answer. Address the Judge and discuss your side of the case. Ask the judge to dismiss the case.
Pull the header information from the plaintiff's petition. Title your Answer Answer to Plaintiff's Petition/Complaint. Center this title and make it bold. Introduce yourself. Admit, deny, or claim that you lack sufficient knowledge to admit or deny each of the plaintiff's numbered allegations.
When drafting an answer, one must: (1) follow the local, state, and federal court rules; (2) research the legal claims in the adversary's complaint; (3) respond to the adversary's factual allegations; and (4) assert affirmative defenses, counterclaims, cross-claims, or third-party claims, if applicable.
Read the summons and make sure you know the date you must answer by. Read the complaint carefully. Write your answer. Sign and date the answer. Make copies for the plaintiff and yourself. Mail a copy to the plaintiff. File your answer with the court by the date on the summons.
Be brief. Answer the allegations in the complaint with one or two sentences. Again remember that the statements you make in your answer can be used as admissions against you. Your response to the allegations in the complaint may admit part of the statement in the specific paragraph and deny part.
File an answer. The most common way to respond to a complaint is by filing an answer. Negotiate. Being served with a lawsuit does not automatically mean you need to appear in court. Request more information from the plaintiff. Cross-complain. File a motion to dismiss.
