Summons

SUMMONS. This form is used in Kansas in a civil case, for divorce proceedings. The form is issued by the court to notify the respondent (your spouse) that a lawsuit (the divorce petition) has been filed against them. It informs the respondent of their obligation to file an answer or motion in response to the petition within 21 days (or up to 35 days if an extension is requested). The form also advises the respondent of the consequences of failing to respond, such as a default judgment being entered against them. The Return of Service section of the form is used to document how the summons and petition were delivered to the respondent. This could be done through methods such as personal service, residence service, or return receipt delivery. It includes information about the method of service, date, and any accompanying documents served. www.FormsWorkflow.com
