or verified or a counter-affidavit by the above date, the court can enter a final decree in divorce.

ask for economic relief. A COUNTER-AFFIDAVIT WHICH YOU MAY FILE WITH THE PROTHONOTARY
OF THE COURT IS ATTACHED TO THIS NOTICE. The filing of the form counter-affidavit alone does
not protect your economic claims.

WITH INFORMATION ABOUT HIRING A LAWYER. IF YOU CANNOT AFFORD TO HIRE A LAWYER, THIS
