Re: Child Support Modification Form & Answer to Domestic Relations Summons

The answer is simply a response, number by-number, to the form you received. If something is true, you admit it, otherwise deny it or state why you can neither admit nor deny (e.g., "I do not know whether he was fired, so I deny it and call on him to prove his claim").

You may have the right to counterclaim for modification.

You should consult with a lawyer, rather than handle this yourself.

Having been served, you have 20 days to answer. From what you say, this may be a DOR case. There are no forms that reflect an answer and/or counterclaim.

Each such response depends on what is served, and what actions you may have against the other party.

If you have questions or need assistance, contact me.
