Q: Is there software that will help me properly format and prepare a court motion response?
I need to file a response for a motion in Alameda, CA superior court. This response is to a motion that a defendent filed to remove a lien on a house. This is part of a collection action that I filed many years ago. I would like to file this motion without a lawyer, as cheaply as possible, and am looking for software to properly format the paperwork.
A: It might depend on the facts of your case, but using pleading paper is generally in any type of California state court civil case. You can make your own pleading paper in Microsoft Word or other similar word processing program. You can download Word templates for pleading paper. Here's one from the California court website (https://www.courts.ca.gov/selfhelp-forms.htm?rdeLocaleAttr=en). Scroll all the way to the bottom.
