amendment to an answer to complaint for divorce
I have filed an answer to complaint for divorce only to be served with an amendment to the original complaint that was filed by the Plaintiff's attorney. Do I have to answer this new amendment? Also I noticed it has two new numbers added to the case number, is this something to be concerned about? And one more thing, opposing counsel has scheduled an early case conference for this Wed. Is that possible since now there is this amendment and does it have to be answered before the case conference takes place?
Re: amendment to an answer to complaint for divorce
If you answered before he amended, the amendment is no good. If he amended before you filed the answer, you have to file an answer to the amended complaint.
The County changed their computer system about a month ago and they now require the year that the case was filed on all documents. Go to the early case conference rather than wait until you answer because there is no reason to wait.
