81. Because you are representing yourself, you are expected to conduct yourself as an attorney
would and to follow the same general rules an attorney would.
2. Make a list of information you think is important for the referee or judge to know. The information
should relate to the reasons stated in your motion. You can use this list as a reminder to bring
up the points you think are important.
3. If you think you need to order someone to attend this hearing, follow the procedure in Michigan
Court Rule 2.506 or consult with an attorney.
4. Go to the judge’s courtroom or referee’s hearing room on the scheduled day and time. Dress
neatly. Arrive 10 or 15 minutes early. Be prepared to spend most of the morning or afternoon
in court. Bring any witnesses with you.
5. If you are responsible for preparing the order, bring all copies of your order form.
6. Go into the courtroom or referee hearing room and tell the referee or clerk (sitting near the judge’s
bench) your name, that you are there for a hearing, and you are representing yourself. Do not interrupt
any hearing in progress. Then take a seat in the back of the courtroom and wait for your case to be
called.
7. When your case is called, be prepared to state:
1) your name.
2) that you are representing yourself.
3) that you need an order for a payment plan or for discharging arrears.
4) the facts or reasons for your request (bring papers that support your facts or reasons).
5) why you believe this order would not be contrary to the best interests of the child(ren).
Answer the judge’s or referee’s questions clearly and directly. If the judge or referee wants to
hear from the other witnesses, ask them to tell the court what they saw or know regarding your
situation.
8. If the other party is in court, he or she will have a chance to speak also. When the other party
talks, take notes. Do not interrupt the other party. After the other party speaks, you will have
another chance to talk. Taking notes will help you with this.
9. After the judge or referee makes a decision, follow the instructions on the packet for FOC 110, “Order
Regarding Payment Plan/Discharge of Arrears.” You are responsible for preparing the order even if
you do not get what you are asking for.
NOTE: If your hearing is held before a referee and you do not agree with the referee's decision, you have
21 days from the date of mailing of the referee's recommendation to file an objection and request a de
novo hearing before the judge. Use the packet for FOC 68, "Objection to Referee's Recommended Order."
