What's Happening?

A new revision to Michigan form MC13 (non-periodic writ of garnishment) has been released with a revision date of 1/14 (January 2014) however the prior revision dated 4/12 can be used up until next December (2014)  as nothing significant changed. 

Please note that initially the Michigan State Court form index said the 4/12 revision could still be used with hand correction and some local courts began to insist on the correction.  We contacted the State Court and asked if that hand correction was really necessary.  They agreed it was not and as of 1-20-2014 the index was changed deleting the hand correction requirement.  Instead they added a cutoff date of next December (2014) for using the existing stock.    

The only significant change to the form was changing the time for service from 91 days to 182 daysThis has virtually no impact on typical usage at all and is merely perfunctory to make the form comply with the last year’s modification to the law that extended the duration for service for all types of garnishments.  MC12 was modified at the time (revised 6/13).  The MC52 form was not affected as it does not mention the time duration for service (but in use the longer time for service could be helpful with tax garnishments).  In contrast we don’t think the change to the MC13 will affect usage since it would be unusual not to serve a one-time non-periodic garnishment as soon as possible.

Until we get the new revision in stock do limit the amount you buy to what you can use up by the end of the year.

For those of you that use continuous feed format, you will be happy to know that on the 1/14 revision we will maintain the field spacing and positions so no programing changes should be needed.

Please know that in addition to printed forms (snap sets or continuous feed), we also stock blank carbonless self-imaging paper.  It is designed for use on all digital printers and copiers including high speed copiers.  We encourage you to browse our website for an array of printed products for your office, blank stationery paper, and information on the use of Michigan's legal forms.
