There is a deadline to file your Answer form Generally, this is due within 30 days after you were served. If you dont, the plaintiff can ask for a default. If theres a default, the court wont let you file an Answer and can decide the case without you. What if its been more than 30 days since I got the Complaint?
You Can Lose By Default: If you dont file a response 30 days after you were served, the Plaintiff can file a form called Request for Default. The Plaintiff has to wait 30 days to file this. If the Plaintiff files this form, the Court can enter a judgment against you. The Plaintiff will win the case.
An answer may be amended once by a party of course (i.e., without court permission, notice to other parties, or costs) within the time for demurrer to or motion to strike an answer (i.e., 10 days after service of the answer under Code of Civil Procedure section 430.40, subdivision (b)), or after a demurrer or motion
The parties may stipulate without leave of court to one 15-day extension beyond the 30-day time period prescribed for the response after service of the initial complaint.
You have 60 days from when you filed the lawsuit to have the papers served and to file proof with the court it was done. The court can give you more time to serve the defendant, but you need to be actively trying to have the papers served.

You may respond to the complaint with a general denial or a specific denial. A specific denial responds to each allegation in the complaint individually. A general denial contains a blanket statement that all allegations in the complaint are denied.
If the defendant didnt file a response by the deadline, the next day you can ask the court to end their chance to respond and to rule in your favor. This is called asking for entry of a default. You should file this within 10 days after the deadline to respond passed. California Rules of Court 3.110(g).
