Redact Legal Tennessee Court Forms For Free

The first step in filing a small claims case is to obtain and fill out the necessary forms (such as the complaint) and pay the required fees. You'll need the name and address of the person or business you're suing (the defendant), as well as the date the claim arose and the amount you intend to ask for in damages.

To do so, you must file a form, the ?Uniform Civil Affidavit of Indigency? form, with the court at the time you file any other court document (such as a complaint, civil warrant, motion or petition). A judge will review the Affidavit form and will either grant or deny your request.

The Tennessee court system is made up of the Supreme Court, appellate courts, trial courts, and courts with limited jurisdiction. Limited jurisdiction means these courts can only hear certain legal issues. These are the general sessions courts, juvenile courts, and municipal courts.

The Court of Chancery has jurisdiction to hear and determine all matters and causes in equity. The general equity jurisdiction of the Court is measured in terms of the general equity jurisdiction of the High Court of Chancery of Great Britain as it existed prior to the separation of the American colonies.

Chancery Court is a court of equity with concurrent jurisdiction with Circuit Court of all divorce actions and of all civil cases, except those for unliquidated damages.

Generally, most divorces will require you to complete, sign, and notarize each of the following forms: Complaint for Divorce. Spouse's Personal Information. Health Insurance Notice. Agreed Permanent Parenting Plan (if applicable) Divorce Agreement. Final Decree of Divorce. Court Order for Divorcing Spouses.
