NOTICE OF INTENTION TO REQUEST ENTRY
OF !i33011dl DIVORCE DECREE
TO: SUSAN C. ERBY
(DEFENDANT)
You have been sued in an action for divorce. You have failed to answer
the complaint or file a counter-affidavit to the ~3301(d) affidavit. Therefore, on
or after January 31, 2005, the other party can request the court to enter a final
decree in divorce.
If you do not file with the prothonotary of the court an answer with your
signature notarized or verified or a counter-affidavit by the above date, the
court can enter a final decree in divorce. A counter-affidavit which you may file
with the prothonotary of the court is attached to this notice.
Unless you have already filed with the court a written claim for economic
relief, you must do so by the above date or the court may grant the divorce and
you will lose forever the right to ask for economic relief. The filing of the form
counter-affidavit alone does not protect your economic claims.
YOU SHOULD TAKE THIS PAPER TO YOUR LAWYER AT ONCE. IF
YOU 00 NOT HAVE A LAWYER OR CANNOT AFFORD ONE, GO TO OR
TELEPHONE THE OFFICE SET FORTH BELOW TO FIND OUT WHERE YOU
CAN GET LEGAL HELP.
