Failure to Respond: If a defendant fails to answer the complaint or file a motion to dismiss within the time limit set forth in the summons, the defendant is in default. The plaintiff can ask the court clerk to make a note of that fact in the file, a procedure called entry of default.
All you have to do to write a general denial is fill out the rest of the form. That includes copying the caption from the complaint. The caption is the section at the top that contains the plaintiff's name, your name, the name of the court and the case number.
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.
An Answer is sometimes called an Original Answer or a General Denial. There is no fee to file an Answer.After you file the Answer, the Petitioner must send you written notice of the date and time of any court hearings and give you a copy of any papers he or she filed in the case.
