As the plaintiff, you must:

The exact amount being claimed or a description of the property to be recovered.
A detailed explanation of why the plaintiff believes the defendant owes the claimed amount or property.
After You File a Lawsuit
After filing the complaint, the district court clerk will provide the necessary documents to serve on the defendant. Complaints can be served via certified mail, personal delivery by the sheriff, or personal delivery by another authorized person.
The defendant must file a written response called an answer to the plaintiff's complaint, explaining their side of the story. If the defendant believes they have a claim against the plaintiff, they can file a counterclaim.
The defendant's answer must be filed by the deadline specified in the served documents, typically 30 days from when the defendant receives the plaintiff's complaint.
The defendant must file a copy of their answer and any counterclaim with the court clerk. The defendant must also serve copies of these documents to the plaintiff.
Collect all relevant documents including contracts, receipts, photos, text messages, emails, and any other evidence that supports your claim. Organize them chronologically.
Write a clear, concise summary of your case. Practice explaining what happened, what you're owed, and why. Stick to the facts and avoid emotional arguments.
What to do after you win your case
After the judgment, the defendant may pay voluntarily. Send a formal demand letter with payment instructions and a deadline. Keep records of all communication.
If the defendant doesn't pay, you can pursue wage garnishment, bank levies, or property liens. The court clerk can provide forms for these enforcement actions.
Your options if you disagree with the judgment
