How do you answer a summons from another state?
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.

Yes, it is possible for another state to file charges for a crime that took place in a different state if it has jurisdiction and the crime falls within its legal boundaries. Each state has its own laws and statutes that govern prosecution, so it is important to review the specific circumstances of the case to determine if charges can be filed in another state.

Initiative and referendum petitions must be filed with?
The answer to this question is state specific as it depends on the statutes or Constitution of the state in which the initiative or referendum petition would be filed. My experience is in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts where I served in the House of Representatives. In Massachusetts, the Initiative and Referendum petitions are filed with the Secretary of the Commonwealth. If the person who filed this inquiry indicated the state in which he/she would be filing, we can provide an more accurate response.
What usually happens to criminal charges for a bad check after bankruptcy?

What is the penalty for harassment with physical contact in the state of Kentucky?
Your elaborations on the question have been moved to the discussion section. You have not filed charges. You have filed a civil complaint for a protective order, and may have made a report to the police. Private individuals are not permitted to file criminal charges. Only the state, through the prosecuting attorney, can do this. If you have made a report to the police, you would need to follow up with the police to find out if the case has been referred to the local prosecutor. You would also want to follow up with the criminal prosecutor to determine if/when they will file criminal charges. If the prosecutor does opt to file criminal charges, and if the defendant is convicted, the punishment would be determined by the judge.
Which state's statute of limitations applies if you do not live in the state where the judgment is filed?
The SOL where the judgment is filed would be the one used. However, when a the debtor moves to another state the usual procedure is to file an abstract judgment against property that the debtor now owns in the new state. There are a few cases where a transfer of judgment is not allowed. The deciding factor would be how the judgment is to be executed and the type of litigation it is in conjunction with.
