I’ve a received a summons for dissolution of marriage. What now?

A brief explanation of what a summons is and what role it plays in a dissolution of marriage case.

A summons is an official document that is issued by the court and serves as a notification to the other party in a marriage dissolution case. It informs them of the legal action that has been taken against them and gives them instructions on how to respond. In Minnesota, a summons must be served to the other party before a divorce or dissolution of marriage case can be started. You must respond to the summons within 20 days, known as an “answer,” or else you may face serious consequences. It also outlines any deadlines or other requirements that must be met by both parties. By understanding what is required of you, you can ensure that your rights are protected and that your case proceeds efficiently.
