You can probably get your case number from your local courthouse. DO NOT

DELAY. You can cause a lot of problems for yourself if you miss the Response

deadline. Seek legal counsel. Good luck.

If you know the county in which the petition was filed you can go to the courthouse and get an other copy of the petition. They do a search by your name. They will charge you for copies.

Good Luck. Hollie A. Lemkin
