Choosing to Represent Yourself in Michigan Court

Although you have the right to represent yourself in any court proceeding, the Michigan Supreme Court does not encourage anyone to file and prosecute or defend their own divorce, paternity, protective order, or other civil or criminal case.

Representing yourself in court may or may not be right for you, and your decision to represent yourself may have long-term consequences. The forms on this website are intended to be a helpful resource but are not intended to be legal advice. Only an attorney can provide such advice and instruction.
