Use a Do-It-Yourself Tool If Possible

The tool fills in the form and gives you completed documents that are ready for you to sign and file in court. Licensed Michigan lawyers create and test the DIY tools. If you want help finding a DIY tool, you can use the Guide to Legal Helpto find out if there is a form related to your legal problem.
The State Court Administrative Office Has Blank Forms for Some Legal Issues

If you know the name of the form you need or the form number, you can search for it using the search bar at the top of the page. You can also scroll down to look for your form by category. If you see your type of legal problem listed, you can click on the category to b...
Finding a Lawyer
If MLH does not have a DIY Tool and SCAO does not have the type of blank form you are looking for, you may want to contact a lawyer for help. Even if SCAO does have a blank form, it may still be a good idea to contact a lawyer if you do not understand how to fill out the form, or if you need any help with your case. Use the Guide to Legal Help to get personalized lawyer referrals. If you might qualify for free or low-cost lawyers, they will be listed on the results page. The Guide also helps...

If a form has instructions, there will be a green rectangle in the lower-left corner of the form labeled “Form Instructions.” Click on the rectangle to open the instructions Carefully follow the instructions to make sure you are filling out the ...
Some court forms include a “Notice of Hearing” section. This tells the other party that a hearing has been scheduled. If you file something that requires a hearing (most motions require a hearing), you are usually responsible for putting a hearing on the court’s schedule and letting the other party in the case know about the hearing. In some situat...
Make Copies
You will need to make three copies of your form so that you have four total-- the original and three copies. For many family court cases, you will need to make four copies of the form so that you have five total. You will file the original (the one with an ink signature, if you signed any with ink) with the court. Some courts also require you to file an extra “judge’s copy.” For many family court cases, you will need a copy for Friend of the Court. The other two copies are for you and the oth...
File with the Court
Finally, file the original plus one copy (or the original plus two copies if it is a family court case) to file with the court. Some courts may accept documents for filing by email, mail, or by handing them to the court in person. In some courts, you may be asked to e-file using MiFILE. To learn more about e-filing and whether this is available in your court, read What Is E-filing?. Contact your court to get information about the filing methods available there. Select your county on the Court...
Most Documents Must Be Served to the Other Party
In general, when someone files a document in a case, the other party has a right to notice that something has been filed and an opportunity to respond to what has been filed. When you file something with the court, you must give the other party in your case (or their lawyer, if they have one) a copy of what you filed. This is called service. Every time you serve the other party, you must give the court proof that you did so. This is called proof of service, or proof of mailing. One exception...
Serving Documents to Start a New Case
Documents you file to start a court case (the summons and complaint, or in some cases the petition) must usually be served on the defendant in person or by certified mail. The plaintiff or petitioner cannot serve these documents themselves. You can hire a professional process server or have a friend or family member do it. The server must be over 18 and can’t be a party to the case. You cannot have the other party served until after you file a summons and complaint with the court. This is bec...
Serving Documents in an Existing Case
Serving later documents in a case is easier. The general rule in Michigan courts is that these documents must be served electronically (e-filed with MiFILE or sent as a PDF email attachment) to the greatest extent possible. If electronic service is not possible or if you are not sure if the other party has email you can serve the other party (or their lawyer if they have one) with documents after the case is started by: 1. Mailing a copy by regular mail to the address they gave in their court...
