How do you write a response to the court?

How do I answer the complaint? Read the summons and make sure you know the date you must answer by. Read the complaint carefully. Write your answer. Sign and date the answer. Make copies for the plaintiff and yourself. Mail a copy to the plaintiff. File your answer with the court by the date on the summons.

What happens if someone does not respond to a complaint?

Failure to Respond: If a defendant fails to answer the complaint or file a motion to dismiss within the time limit set forth in the summons, the defendant is in default. The plaintiff can ask the court clerk to make a note of that fact in the file, a procedure called entry of default.

What is a verified complaint in CA?

A verified complaint has a statement at the very end of the complaint, after the attorneys signature (or the plaintiffs signature if there is no attorney), that is signed under penalty of perjury stating that the statements in the complaint are true.
