Respondents Court Responsibilities

Summary

If a respondent believes a court hearing is intended to harass them, they can file a motion to dismiss for improper venue or request a change of venue to a more convenient location. Providing evidence of harassment to the court can also support their case. These actions can help address the inconvenience and costs associated with traveling for court proceedings.
