Summons: This document is used to inform the Respondent that a suit has been filed against him or her and orders the Respondent to appear before the court to file any pleadings necessary within 30 days after service of the summons. If the respondent is to sign the Waiver (Form 2) you do not need to issue the summons. When you file the Petition and other documents, you can inform the clerk that the Respondent is going to sign a waiver and to not issue a summons. The clerk may have a form for you to sign requesting that the summons not be issued.
