Re: do papers filed need to be answered
File the Answer ASAP. If you don't and things don't work out, you are not entitled to any notice if she decides to tell the clerk to set the case down for a hearing. Also, due to what may be at stake, I would strongly advise you to at least consult with a local attorney.
