Can she really do this drag me into procceding while i havent neglected or refused to play my part. how should i handle this or avoid it

Answer 1

If you have been sued, there is no option, you have to appear before the court and explain your case. You can appear without a lawyer and defend yourself. It all depends on the evidence you provide.
