Tips for filling out form 700-00148

When completing form 700-00148, pay special attention to these less obvious sections:

Item 1

Limited Appearance

If you are appearing for a limited purpose, be specific about what that purpose is. This might be for a particular hearing or only to address a specific issue within the case. Detailing this can help avoid unnecessary responsibilities or commitments.
Item 2

Self-Representation Responsibilities

When representing yourself, it's crucial to keep the court updated with any changes in your contact information. Failure to do so could result in missing important notices or court orders, which can adversely affect your case.
Item 3

Certificate of Service

Filing a certificate of service is mandatory when submitting documents, including this form, to the court. Ensure you understand how to complete this step, as neglecting it can lead to procedural issues or delays in your case.
Item 4

Consent for Email

Consider carefully before opting in to receive documents via email. If you choose 'YES,' ensure that your provided email is one you regularly check and that it's secure, to maintain confidentiality and timely reception of documents.
