If there is no red asterisk or box saying the field is required, then this means that information in that field is optional.

  • NOTE: To edit the existing Party information you've added to the case before you submit your new filing, simply click on the pencil icon to the right of the person or entity in the Parties page, then place your cursor in the input field you want to edit and make your corrections. Click Save when finished.
  • NOTE: To delete a party you've added, you can simply click on the trash can icon to the right of the person or entity in the Parties page.
  • NOTE: Party Types are configured on the court's end. If the Party Type you require does not appear, Filer Support cannot add these Party Types to a case for you.
  • NOTE: You cannot add a new Party in a Service Only filing.
  • NOTE: Some courts offer an input field for filers to add an AKA or Alias. If your court does not provide this input field, your local court may need to include this information.
  • NOTE: If you are the only Party on a case that contains two required Parties, select "Party is a Business/Agency" to reduce the name to one input field, then type in "N/A", "Not Applicable", or "No Party" on the unnecessary required Party.
  • NOTE: Technical Support cannot advise you on what Party Type you should select for your filing.
