A Delaware Answer to petition is a formal written response to a legal complaint, made by a defendant in a civil lawsuit. This response is submitted to the court, and must contain either a denial of the allegations in the complaint, or a statement of defenses to the claims. Depending on the type of lawsuit, a Delaware Answer to petition may also include counterclaims, requests for affirmative relief, or a request for dismissal. There are two types of Delaware Answer to petition: 1. General denial: This type of Delaware Answer to petition is a denial of all allegations in the complaint. It is typically used in cases where the defendant believes the plaintiff's claims are false or not supported by sufficient evidence. 2. Specific denial: This type of Delaware Answer to petition lists the specific allegations in the complaint and addresses each one individually. The defendant may offer an explanation of why the allegation is false, or provide evidence contradicting the plaintiff's claim.
