I live in Va and my soon to be EX lives in S.C. .She had a sommons served on me for divorce and it says I am required to answer the complaint .

One answers a Complaint for Divorce by either writing "Defendant admits" or "Defendant denies" the allegations contained in each numbered paragraph.  The top of the document, or the "style" of the case should look like her pleading.  The title should be "Answer to Complaint."  You must sign the document.  Do keep in mind that if you file an answer, then you are submitting yourself to the jurisdiction of South Carolina.  You should seek a consult with an attorney.  Is South Carolina the proper venue for the divorce.  Did you and your spouse live together as husband and wife in South Carolina?  Has she lived there for six months continuously?  You say that there are no assets or money issues, but is she seeking spousal support/alimony?  It would serve you to seek a consult with an attorney.
