Re: civil summons child support
you need to contact an attorney to see just exactly what the summons requires you to do. It will either require a FORMAL answer to a lawsuit or your appearance. The attorney or agency to contact should be indicated on the summons. This is NOT something to be handled with a phone call or letter. More importantly there is usually a time limitation, the failure of which to satisfy could bring serious consequences such as the inability to raise a defense that you normally would be entitled to.
