You have 30 days to file your Reply from the date ''you were served'', not 30 days from the date the Application to Obtain an Order was ''filed in court''.
When you fill out your Reply, you <span class="noglossary">will</span> be asked to say which parts of the Application to Obtain an Order you agree with and which you disagree with. The form can also be used to make a claim of your own against the applicant, this is called a counterclaim. You don't need to file an Application to Obtain an Order of your own.
After you have filed your Reply, the court may schedule a date for you to meet with a family justice counsellor and you may be required to attend a Parenting After Separation course, depending on which registry the application was filed. The registry <span class="noglossary">will</span> take care of scheduling your meeting with the family justice counsellor, but it's up to you to arrange for the Parenting After Separation course.
