• The Program allows you to complete the forms necessary to file:
• Small Claim (excluding Auto Negligence and Return of Security Deposit)
• Tenant Eviction (Residential Possession Only)
• Dissolution of Marriage

• You will be asked a series of questions related to the case you are filing. Answer these questions with as detail as possible. The information you provide will be used to complete the appropriate forms. This program does not check spelling or grammar. The information on the forms will appear just as you entered it.

• Once you have read and accepted the Self Service Program Disclaimer and User Agreement a brief instruction page is displayed. On the following page, you will select the type of case you wish to file. General information regarding the selected case type is displayed, including the information that is required to complete the questionnaire. This is followed by the Fee Schedule, including the Service Charge for using the Self Service Program and the Filing and Process Service fees necessary to initiate your case. On the next page, you will create an account name and password.
