Technical Problems with Some Do-It-Yourself Tools

Unfortunately, some of our Do-It-Yourself Tools (form filling tools) are having intermittent issues because of a technical problem with one of our partner organizations. If you try to create forms using one of these tools, you may get an error that prevents you from saving your answers or downloading your forms. The tools housed on MLH-Forms are still working properly.

All of the other content on Michigan Legal Help is still available. If you have any trouble finding what you need and you are not sure if it is included in this outage, you can use LiveHelp to chat with us. For blank court forms, use this link to the Michigan Courts forms page. Thank you for your patience. Our partner organization is doing everything they can to restore access to these tools.

Paid Feedback Opportunities! Help Us Make The Process More Fair.

Have you faced eviction or debt collection in Michigan and got a default judgment? (This means you missed court and the judge decided the case without you.)

Were you evicted by the sheriff and never went to court?

Have you had money taken from your paycheck, bank account, or tax refund for an unpaid debt?

We want to hear about your experience to try to make the process more fair. Get a $20 gift card for a 30-minute interview. Your personal details will stay private in our reports.

Do-It-Yourself Motion for Installment Payment Plan

Use this tool to prepare forms to ask the court for an installment payment plan. An installment payment plan will let you pay off a judgment over time. You will go to the LawHelp Interactive website to do this. When you are done answering the questions, your finished form will be ready to print.

Our forms are always free. You will leave Michigan Legal Help and go to our partner site to create forms. The LawHelp Interactive website asks for an optional donation. You do not need to pay anything.
