Write the Pleading

After you create the template, you go to the second part of the wizard, in which you work in a document based on the template you created. You complete additional steps to add the parties to the pleading, the names, case number, attorney names, and so on.

When you have finished filling in these details, click Finish. When the pleading is displayed, the Assistant gives you several options for adjusting the formatting. When you have the format you want, add the content of the pleading.

Need a specific type of pleading?   When the wizard asks you to select the parties, click Petitioner and Respondent to create a summons for legal separation, or click Debtor to create a decree of dissolution. Need numbered and bulleted lists in your pleading?   See Add Numbering to Headings and Paragraphs. Including cross-references?   See Add Automatic Cross-References.
