How do I file a complaint or petition in civil court? You file the complaint or petition with the clerk of court. You generally want to file in the court in the county where the person you are suing lives. Along with the complaint, the court must be told where to serve (give it a copy of it to) the defendant.

If you want to file a motion, the process is generally something like this: You write your motion. You file your motion with the court clerk. The court clerk inserts the date and time your motion will be heard by the judge. You “serve” (mail) your motion to the other side.

Generally, the law requires that you first try to settle your discrimination complaint by going through the administrative complaint process before you file a lawsuit. In other words, you generally cannot go directly to court to sue an agency.

Generally, the answer is no (at least not for an extension of time). The only motions that need to be notarized are verified motions, such as summary judgment.
