Legal forms at the library

Did you know the State of Indiana has provided several easy-to-use forms for common legal needs including divorce, child support, small claims and appeals? These forms, available in the library's Research Resources collection, start with a web page that asks you a few basic questions and fills in the actual legal form based on your answers. You can then print this from home or at the library.

The Indiana Self-Service Legal Center, part of the Indiana Judiciary, is not intended to replace an attorney or legal advice, and the library strongly recommends patrons read all the information on the website carefully.

The Research Resources collection can be found two ways: the link on the front page of the library's website at http://www.myjcpl.org/ and as a folder on the desktop of any public Internet computer at the library, as well as on the library catalog computers.

If you're looking for other legal forms, from lease and rental agreements to living wills and more, be sure to look at our broader Legal Forms database, also available in our Research Resources collection.
