If you ignore it, it’s called default judgment

My son was the one driving. Why are they suing me?

My neighbour is threatening to sue me over aphids in his garden. For some reason he believes that our yard is the source of the aphids. Even though it's spring time in my country and aphids are common in every garden at this time. I honestly don't have the money for a lawyer. I'm pretty sure he has no case however the man has money and lots of time.
