If you’re representing yourself in Georgia
Court staff can tell you which forms to file and what the deadlines are — they cannot tell you what to say or predict an outcome. Ask the clerk for the self-help or pro se desk; many courts have one. Bring every document you have been served, and write down the case number before you call.
