Motion to Modify: Maine Court Forms

Printer-friendly version

Important Notice: Doing your own court case without a lawyer is hard and not always a good idea. Before going ahead, we advise you to read Family Law in Maine: Post-Judgment Motions.

To get your case into court, you must prepare, file, and serve certain court forms. Here is a list of the forms you will need to get your case started.

We offer two options for preparing your court forms. See the chart below.

1. Fillable forms. These are our older .pdf forms. You can fill them out online, then print. Or you can print, then fill them out by hand. We believe that these forms will work if you have Adobe Reader 4.0 or higher; you can save your forms if you're using Adobe Reader 8.0 or higher. Get more details on using fillable .pdf forms.
2. HotDocs interviews. This is a newer way to prepare your forms. It may be easier for you. The links will send you to an online interview on another trustworthy website. You just answer the qustions, then print out your forms. Two cautions: Some internet browsers (such as Firefox and older versions of Internet Explorer) do not support this program. Also, we are still in the testing phase, so there may be bugs. But we encourage you to try them out. More technical details here
