That's a good question, and I'm not sure there's a specific form or template for how to respond to a court summons over a construction debt - and if there is, that's not something that Levelset offers. Generally, how exactly to respond will be very tightly tied to your situation and the relevant circumstances, and it will depend on what's in the summons, itself. It would likely be wise to consult with your attorney or a Florida construction attorney in the jurisdiction to determine how exactly to respond to the summons.
