1.Responsive Declaration: Only if you want the court to hear your side of thre story.
2.Serving a copy on the other side: See #1.
If the court follows the rules it is supposed to, failure to do both of the ahbove may have the result of the matter proceeding without your input. Why would you want to play these games. Is your child that unimportant to you?
