WHAT IS A SUMMONS WITH VERIFIED COMPLAINT?

A Summons with Verified Complaint is more elaborate than the Summons with Notice. It states the allegations set forth in the Verified Complaint. There are many reasons for an attorney to do a Summons with Notice and/or a Summons with Verified Complaint. For example, if we start with a Summons with Notice, we later have to prepare a Verified Complaint. If you believe your spouse will be represented by an attorney then we will most likely start with a Summons with Notice and later supplement with a Complaint. This way, we can negotiate the grounds of the Complaint and possibly do it in a more cost effective manner. If your spouse cannot be found or be represented by an attorney, we would want to start immediately with the Summons and Verified Complaint so that only one service of process is needed by a professional process server. If your spouse has retained an attorney, we do not have to use a process server to serve the Verified Complaint.
