Your lawyer doesn't know what he/she is doing. Get another one. An Answer must be served and filed following the request. Ask the other party to consent on filing a late answer with the proper form stating that you were on time but the courthouse did not accept the wrong form. They should accept showing they are reasonable and willing to move forward with the case.
