What to bring to the Self-Help Center
- Bring a pen for filling out forms and paper in case you want to take notes.
- If you want to ask the Court to change an order, you must bring a filed copy of the order you want changed.
- For all other legal issues, we may need to see all the papers in your case, if you have one. It is best to bring a copy of your entire court file. Remember you are representing yourself and you need to keep a copy of any document you file.
