You should have received either a xerox or conformed copy of the Nisi. However, the fact that your copy is blank does not affect the validity of the petition for modification. Just call the clerk's office and they will tell you the missing info.

Yes, you must answer the petition. The Rule Nisi does not affect the petition at all. I suggest you contact a local attorney for further assistance in the matter.
