Rule 206.2 Answer

When someone files a petition with the court, the other side has the right to respond with an answer. That answer needs to clearly explain the facts that support their defense, not just deny what the petition says.

The answer must be organized to match the petition paragraph by paragraph. If the petition has 10 numbered paragraphs, the answer should have 10 numbered paragraphs responding to each one in order. This makes it easy for the court to see exactly where the two sides agree or disagree.
