To participate in the case you must file an answer to the custody complaint by the deadline on the summons. You can also file a counterclaim for custody, which asks the court to decide custody, parenting time, and child support arrangements for the children and says the terms you want.f your childâs other parent has filed for custody, you can choose to do nothing. If you do nothing, the other parent can pursue custody without your input, and youâll end up with a court order based on the other parentâs terms.
