You must file and serve your response within 21 days of you being served with the summons.
A: You can file a waiver of service and a response or just a response. The waiver just means that you are waiving your right to formal personal service. If you do not sign the waiver, then the other party has to have you personally served. The Court will still want to hear your thoughts on the allegations in the petition, which you set forth in a response.
