Re: information about answering a summons
With a few exceptions, you have 20 calendar days to respond (or file a notice of appearance to prevent default without notice). If the 20th day falls on a non-judicial day you have until the next judicial day to file and serve your response. If you file your response by mail allow three additional judicial days for mail filing and service.
