To file a counterclaim in response to a civil lawsuit, you typically need to draft a document formally stating your claims against the plaintiff. This document should be filed with the court where the original lawsuit was filed and served on the plaintiff. It's advisable to consult with an attorney to ensure that the counterclaim is properly drafted and filed in accordance with legal requirements.
You need to research the applicable law in your jurisdiction. Some require you to file an answer to the counterclaim to avoid default, and some do not.
Pleadings are the formal allegations and responsives thereto, of parties in a lawsuit. Pleadings are usually filed to initiate a lawsuit (petition or complaint), and to file an official response, defense and any counterclaim (Answer, Reconventional Demand, Counter-claim). Motions are applications for orders from the court, usually made within the framework of a lawsuit (motion to compel discovery, motion to set trial date, motion for summary judgment).
A counterclaim is a claim made by a defendant in response to the plaintiff's claim in a legal case. It asserts that the plaintiff's claim is invalid, often as a defense or a way to demand relief.
