Returning Summons

If you prefer not to attend the courthouse, you can make the decision to return the summons unopened. However, it should be noted that the court may unlawfully rule in your absence.
When returning unopened mail, usually a stamp is applied saying return to sender, however instead of “return to sender” you can use “Refused as addressed” because it is addressed incorrectly.
Note: “refused” could be seen as controversy so use “declined as addressed”, however a “decline” could be seen as “acceptance” of the addressed, when you have in fact “declined”.
If you choose to return the court summons, you may wish to complete and file an affidavit of third party mailings.
I used the affidavit, returning the summons papers. You should always pay attention to the wording they are using in that paper. Most of the time they say "you are invited to act". So WTF is that? Is an invitation (so you can nicely reject it) but "to act" ? Like in a theater, each participant will have a playing "role".
If that paper is not even signed, is just an automated printed paper, you can consider it even a fraud.
