Some of the steps after this one may have slightly different information for you depending on how you will file with the court, so you may want to learn more about the choices in your area.
Each court decides how it will accept documents for filing. Contact your court to find out which methods are available. Depending on your court, you may be able to file by:
- In-person filing
- E-mail
- E-Filing using MiFILE
- Mailing or dropping off documents
- Fax
You can find contact information for your court on the Courts & Agencies page of Michigan Legal Help.
MiFILE is only available for some courts. Even in courts where it is available, you can only use it for some case types. The State Court Administrative Office keeps a chart of courts that use e-Filing. To learn more, read What Is E-Filing?.
