Common attachments include a civil cover sheet, summons, complaint or petition, exhibits, and proof of service forms. Where claims involve records, attach certified copies or business records affidavits. Check local rules for required exhibit formatting, indexing, and binding instructions.

How do I serve opposing parties?

Service methods depend on the defendant's location and the claim type. Acceptable methods include personal service, certified mail, or statutory service by publication when necessary. File a proof of service promptly and retain delivery receipts or tracking numbers as evidence.

What if my filing is rejected?

If the clerk rejects a filing for formatting or fee errors, follow the clerk's directions to correct and resubmit. Note rejection reasons, correct deficiencies promptly, and consider consulting pro bono or limited-scope counsel if procedural issues recur.
