Are you filing without a lawyer?

• For forms to file, legal information, where to find free or low-cost legal advice, and more, click here.
• If you don’t have a lawyer, you don’t have to e-file if: (1) you are in prison or jail, (2) you are filing a will, (3) you are filing into a juvenile court case, (4) you have a disability that prevents you from e-filing, or (5) for good cause. The first 4 exemptions are automatic, and you do not need to submit any paperwork. The 5th exemption requires you to fill out and file a Certification for Exemption from E-filing and check off one of the following reasons to be exempt from e-filing:
• I do not have internet or a computer in my home. My only access is through a public terminal at a courthouse, library, or other location. This poses a financial or other hardship.
• I have trouble reading, writing, or speaking in English.
• I am filing in a sensitive case, such as a petition for an order of protection or a civil no contact/stalking order.
• I tried to e-file my documents, but I could not complete the process because the equipment or assistance I need is not available.
• If you need help e-filing, click here for step-by-step guides and videos (in English and Spanish).
