After you receive notice of a lawsuit in California, you typically have 30 days to respond to the complaint. You respond to the complaint by filing an answer with the court where the initial complaint was filed. In your answer you will either admit or deny the allegations contained in the complaint. Any statements that you do not deny will be considered to be true. If you have any new issues to raise, like an affirmative defense, this is the time to raise them. Failure to file a timely answer may result in a default judgment being entered against you.Form pld-010, is the answer to file if you are responding to a complaint in which the cause of action is a breach of contract. You can find the form online at http://www.courts.ca.gov/documents/pldc010.pdf. If you need a different form, visit the California Judicial Council’s website, http://www.courts.ca.gov/forms.htm?filter=CO.Responding to a complaint can be complicated. Therefore, contact an attorney as soon as possible to help you defend against these claims.
