Summons Special Paternity Maternity

SUMMONS (Special Paternity/Maternity). This form issued by the Arizona Superior Court in Pima County notifies a respondent that a lawsuit concerning paternity or maternity has been filed against them. It is typically used in cases where one party (the petitioner) is asking the court to legally establish the identity of a child’s mother or father. This form serves to inform the respondent that they are being sued and must take legal action by filing a written response with the court within a specified time—20 calendar days if served in Arizona, or 30 days if served outside the state. The summons warns that if the respondent fails to respond within the required time, the court may proceed with the case and issue a judgment without their input. It also includes instructions for filing the response and delivering a copy to the petitioner, as well as a notice regarding accommodations for individuals with disabilities. www.FormsWorkflow.com
