We have sample forms you can use if you are representing yourself in court.

If you have been sued, i.e., served with a Summons and Complaint, and no judgment has been entered and you need to file an Answer, then see:

Answer Instructions - PDF
Justice Court Answer - PDF
District Court Answer - PDF
Discovery Packet - PDF

If you have been sued, Judgment has been entered, and your wages have been or are about to be garnished, and you believe your wages are exempt, then visit our Attach and Garnish information page.

If you have been sued for a money deficiency after your automobile was repossessed, then click here

If you have been sued and a Default and Default Judgment have been entered against you because you did not file an Answer (and, as a result, you have been or are about to be garnished and can't claim a legitimate exemption from garnishment), then see the following:

If you did not file an Answer because you never received the Summons and Complaint, then see:
