counterclaim

Even by the standards of claim and counterclaimed by both sides, this isn't business as usual on the front line.

In tragedy, justice is divided between claim and counterclaim.

Your honor, the defense should've filed counterclaims before the trial began.

The political life of the city is divided by claim and counterclaim.

And what makes matters worse is that they're caught in this fog of claims and counterclaims about who they are, what they've experienced, where the proof is and what they deserve.
