What court forms you need to answer a civil lawsuit depend on what kind of suit, and what court. Since I don't know what kind of lawsuit or where you are, I can only offer general direction.
Most courts have forms available at the clerk's office, and many also have them available online for download (for free). The court personnel are not allowed to give you legal advice, so you have to know what you're doing when you fill out and file the form.
Some courts have sets of forms designed for people without lawyers; these normally come with some general instructions, often as part of a "packet" for specific types of cases. Be aware that most courts do not offer self-help forms for general civil cases, because the issues are complex and you really should have an attorney.
Use the first related source below to look for available forms for your location. First select your state, then go to the Choose a Court Resource Category in the upper right. Select "Court Forms and Other Information" for a list of available forms - statewide sources first, then counties in alphabetical order.
The second related source below is just an example; it's the California forms list.
