How to File an Answer to a Complaint in the Superior Court of
New Jersey - Law Division - Civil Part
Who Should Use This Packet?
You may use this package if you have received a summons, complaint, civil case information statement
(CIS), and track assignment notice (TAN) notifying you that you are being sued in the Law Division of
the Superior Court of New Jersey. In order to avoid having the other party win the case against you
automatically, you must file an answer to the complaint along with a CIS and the appropriate fee within
35 days from the date that you receive the summons. Your answer should contain any defenses you
have to the claims made in the complaint and any dispute you have with the facts as stated in the
complaint. If you do not file your answer and CIS within the 35 days, a default judgment can be entered
against you and the County Sheriff may seize your money, wages, or property to pay all or part of the
judgment
.
If you believe you have a claim against the plaintiff and wish to countersue, you must file a
Note:
counterclaim with your answer and CIS. If you believe you have a claim against another defendant, you
must file a cross-claim with your answer and CIS. For information on the procedure for filing a cross-
claim or counterclaim, consult staff in the civil division clerk’s office
.
Note: These materials have been prepared by the New Jersey Administrative Office of the Courts for
use by self-represented litigants. The guides, instructions, and forms will be periodically updated as
necessary to reflect current New Jersey statutes and court rules. The most recent version of the
forms
will be available at the county courthouse or on the Judiciary’s Internet site
njcourts.gov.
However,
you are ultimately responsible for the content of your court papers.
Completed forms are to be submitted to the county where you are filing your case. A list of
Superior Court Offices
is provided at the customer counter or at njcourts.gov.
