How long to answer a summons in WI

kaxmaII3 · 07-31-2006, 02:10 PM

Hi folks, does anyone know how long one has to answer a "civil" summons in WI?

It WAS 45 days but I understand that will change 1 August....anyone know?

Your local rules should be on your Court's website and I don't think you are held to changes in mid action. I would think that since the case was filed prior to the rules being changed you are still held to the prior, but when in doubt call the clerk.
