If you are the small claims court defendant and want to contest a claim against you, you may have to pay a fee also; courts are not uniform on this, so check with the clerks office.
Ask a judge to make a decision about something before or after your Small Claims trial date. You can also use it to tell the court your side when someone else in the case has filled out this form to ask the judge to make a decision.
