Did her attorney file for an extention? You or your attorney should have been notified if this is the case. Also, if the orginal order specified an answer was required within 30 days and no extension was ordered by the courts, then her 1st answer should take presedence.

Dear subliminal:
Greetings. Answers must be filed within 30 days, unless an extension of time was granted. You can make a motion to set aside the answer as untimely. Thank you.
