A:
To adjust your reimbursement request in response to the defendant's counterclaim, you will need to file an amended complaint. In your amended complaint, you can revise the amount you are seeking for reimbursement or make any other necessary changes to your claim. Ensure that you clearly outline the adjustments you are making and provide any supporting documentation or evidence to justify your revised request.
Since the case is being heard in Kent County, DE, you will need to follow the specific procedures and rules of the court in that jurisdiction for filing an amended complaint. You may need to consult with an attorney familiar with Delaware civil procedure to ensure that you comply with all requirements and deadlines for amending your complaint.
Once you have prepared your amended complaint, you will need to file it with the court and serve a copy on the defendant. Be sure to keep track of any filing deadlines and ensure that you comply with all court rules regarding service of documents. Your attorney, if you have one, can assist you throughout this process and provide guidance on how best to adjust your reimbursement request effectively.
