If you are being sued in the Supreme Court, you are the ''respondent'' in a court proceeding that has been started by the ''claimant''. If you disagree with any of the orders the claimant is asking for, you must prepare a ''Response to Family Claim''. You can also prepare a ''Counterclaim'' if there is an order you would like to ask for. These documents, together with the claimant's Notice of Family Claim, are called pleadings. | If you are being sued in the Supreme Court, you are the ''respondent'' in a court proceeding that has been started by the ''claimant''.
