Skip steps 14-18 if you already had a hearing on your Motion by Presumed Father to Determine Child Born Out of Wedlock in Step 9.
If you filed a Motion and Affidavit for Extension of Time to File Action for Revocation of Paternity and you were not able to get the Motion to Determine Child Born Out of Wedlock heard on the same day, now get a hearing date for the Motion to Determine Child Born Out of Wedlock.
If you will be filing the Notice of Hearing in person at the court, you can either call the court before filing to get a hearing date, or wait until you are at the court. If you call ahead of time to get a hearing date, fill out the Notice of Hearing with the information you get about the hearing date, time, location of hearing, and name of the judge or referee who will hear the motion. Below “for the following purpose,” write "Motion by Presumed Father to Determine Child Born Out of Wedlock." Check the boxes next to “The defendant is required to attend this hearing” and “The plaintiff is required to attend this hearing.”
Make four copies of the completed Notice of Hearing. Go to the clerk’s office and file the Notice of Hearing. Give the clerk the original and all copies. The clerk will keep the original and one copy and return the other copies to you.
If you wait until you are at the court to get a hearing date, remember to fill out all four copies of the Notice of Hearing.
If you are not filing in person (such as filing by MiFILE, e-mail, or mail), call the court clerk's office and ask how they would like the Notice of Hearing to be completed. They may give you a hearing date or choice of dates, or they may ask you to leave it blank for the court to assign a date later. If they give you a hearing date, fill out the Notice of Hearing with the information you get about the hearing date, time, location of hearing, and name of the judge or referee who will hear the motion.
Below “for the following purpose,” write "Motion by Presumed Father to Determine Child Born Out of Wedlock." Check the boxes next to “The defendant is required to attend this hearing” and “The plaintiff is required to attend this hearing.”
Serve the Notice of Hearing
Look back to Step 7 for information on how to serve papers. If you file the Notice of Hearing in MiFILE, you can serve your spouse or ex-spouse at that time.
