Wisconsin Answer and Counterclaim (Small Claims) is a legal process in Wisconsin courts where a defendant can answer the plaintiff's complaint and potentially bring a counterclaim against the plaintiff. This process is available in Wisconsin Small Claims Courts, which are courts designed to handle disputes of up to $10,000. In a Wisconsin Answer and Counterclaim (Small Claims), the defendant can respond to the plaintiff's complaint with an answer and/or an affirmative defense. The defendant can also file a counterclaim against the plaintiff, which is a legal claim asserting that the plaintiff has wronged the defendant. There are two types of Wisconsin Answer and Counterclaim (Small Claims): Answer and Counterclaim and Answer Without Counterclaim. In an Answer and Counterclaim, the defendant responds to the plaintiff's complaint with an answer and files a counterclaim against the plaintiff. In an Answer Without Counterclaim, the defendant responds to the plaintiff's complaint with an answer but does not file a counterclaim against the plaintiff.
