How to Use an SCAO Form

SCAO Forms includes all State Court Administrative Office–approved forms, including District Court forms, Circuit Court forms, Michigan Court forms, Friend of the Court forms, Probate Court forms, and Family Division forms. ICLE thanks the State Court Administrative Office for providing us with the forms.

ICLE updates the forms as changes are made by the SCAO.

To print the forms, you must use the Adobe Acrobat print button, not your web browser's print function.

You can either open an SCAO form online, fill it out, and save or print it while you're connected to the Internet or download it to your computer and fill it out later when you are not connected to the Internet.
