NOTICE OF INTENT TO REQUEST ENTRY
OF 3301(d) DIVORCE DECREE
TO: Susan K. Watson
You have been sued in an action for divorce. You have failed to answer the
complaint or file a counter-affidavit to the Section 3301(d) affidavit. Therefore, on or
after October 29, 2009, 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 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 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.
