To: Joseph Charles Tavema
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 May 12, 2003, 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 fbr 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 TELEPHONE THE
OFFICE SET FORTH BELOW TO FIND OUT WHERE YOU CAN GET LEGAL HELP.
