The Complaint that is attached to the summons is the document you would respond to. If the Complaint was filed in another state, you would send your Answer to the Clerk of that court from which the Complaint arose, along with whatever that court charges for a filing fee. Generally speaking, if a lawsuit is filed against you in another state, it would be a good idea to hire an attorney within that state to represent you.
