Nevada Answer to Complaint to Divorce and Counterclaim no Children

You have to answer the counterclaims. They have the same effect as your lawsuit. It is not wise to proceed with litigation without an attorney.

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.

If you filed an answer and a counterclaim, the Plaintiff will likely file a response to your counterclaim.If you filed a motion, a hearing will be scheduled for the court to make a decision. After your motion is resolved (and assuming the case is not dismissed), the case will move forward from there.
