Sounds like they must have reassigned the judge in your case, and it (presuming service was proper) sounds like you are on the clock to file your Response. Without knowing what type of Petition or other request they filed, I can't advise you further.

If there's a family living in your deceased mother's home and causing financial concerns, you should consider contacting local authorities.
I believe the judge is prejudiced against me and has a personal relationship with the plaintiff.

I recommend speaking with an an experienced attorney who specializes in family law cases.
