I have filed a lawsuit pro se and wish to add and/or change a part of it. This case is filed in Superior Court in a county in GA. What is the proper procedure in doing this and how would this be worded as in the title of the document.
Just curious, but what gives you to believe that your pleading can be amended or supplemented? At certain stages of a lawsuit that can only be accomplished upon motion and court approval. E. g., like it will not result in prejudice to the other party/parties, unduly protract the discovery processes, unreasonably delay the trial, etc., etc.
If you think you are lost now, (which you understandably are) wait until you get in that courtroom. It ain’t going to be a “Judge Judy” TV travesty! There are rules of procedure and evidence that a lay person couldn’t absorb without years of study and practical experience. The gestation period to become an effective trial lawyer is about 10 years.
I know that attorneys are obscenely expensive and that is probably why you have chosen to go without one. But be prepared for some surprises and set backs in that courtroom.
I’ve tried thousands of lawsuit and rarely have they come out looking exactly like they did going in. The old adage about “mice and men” and their “best made plans” is no more apt than in a courtroom.
