**Summons:** A notice to a defendant or respondent that an action against him or her was filed in the court issuing the summons and that a judgment will be taken against him or her if the defendant or respondent doesn't answer the complaint or petition within a certain time. In the context of a family law, a Summons (FL-110) form is used to notify the other spouse that a divorce has been filed. ![[Summons (FL-110).pdf]]
