NOTICE OF INTENTION TO REQUEST ENTRY OF §3301(d) DIVORCE C
You have been sued in an action for divorce. You have failed to answer the
complaint or f'de a counter-affidavit to the {}3301(d) affidavit. Therefore, on or after the
24th day of April, 2002, the other party can request the court to enter a final decree in
divorce.
If you do not ~e 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 fled 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 DO NOT HAVE A LAWYER OR CANNOT AFFORD ONE, GO TO OR
TELEPOHNE THE OFFICE SET FORTH BELOW TO FIND OUT WHERE YOU CAN
GET LEGAL HELP.
