The Answer to Complaint for Parentage (CJD-119) is a legal document used in Massachusetts Probate and Family Court proceedings. It allows a defendant to formally respond to a complaint that seeks to establish legal parentage. The document requires the defendant to address each allegation made in the complaint, either admitting or denying them, and to present any defenses or counterclaims they may have. The Answer must be filed within a specific timeframe, typically 20 days from the date of service, in accordance with Massachusetts Rules of Domestic Relations Procedure. It is important for the defendant to carefully review the complaint and provide a detailed response to ensure their rights and interests are protected in the parentage determination process.
