Petitions are formal court documents. These forms are common in lawsuits and other legal situations. They're often the first document you need to submit.
A petition requests a judge for some type of court order. It also explains the reasons why the order is necessary and mentions supporting evidence. It's often necessary to customize petitions for state laws, which is why PDFSimpli offers state-specific versions of many petitions.
Any time you or your business needs a court order, you need to fill out and file a petition with the appropriate authority. There are many situations for a court order, both personal and professional.
In family law, petitions often involve protection orders, restraining orders and court orders for child support. In the world of business, petitions are necessary for cease and desist orders, lawsuits and appeals.
The necessary information varies depending on the reason for the petition. In broad strokes, the petition needs to show why you're seeking the court order, what type of relief or solution you're requesting and why the judge should help you.
You should be as specific as possible, such as including detailed examples or evidence. With PDFSimpli, you can even add images if needed.
