I filed a response to my ex-wifes Petition for the Out-of-State Registration of Child Custody/ Visitation and Petition Affecting Parent-Child Relationship. I filed it with both courts and just received a note from the court where I reside that they decided to file it as a Petition not a Response. I'm not sure what this changes. Is it for jurisdiction reasons? I'm having trouble researching this.
Thank you in advance

A Response generally is for informational purposes or to rebut a claim. They generally require little, if any action.
A petition is the same as a charge, or circumstances, that will be required to have action on by the court! This means that all parties, and their attorneys are required to go to a hearing on the merits! A petition of Abuse is a charge of abuse by the petitioner.
