Re: forced to sign
It all depends on what those forms are. I am sorry, but I can't answer the question without more information:
1. What is the form? 2. What are the trying to do with the form/information? 3. What is the court action?
If you wish to share this additional information, I will do my best to answer your question.

Re: forced to sign
Unless you can prove actual 'duress' as legally defined [gun to the head], what you signed, you signed. That doesn't mean you can't object and defend whatever they are trying to do. Sounds like an unemployment appeal, wrongful termination claim, or something similar. Contact a local attorney.
Re: forced to sign
It depends on what you signed and what the court action is for. Without detailed information about the contents and purpose of the document you signed it would be impossible to provide you with a definitive answer.
Consult a local attorney regarding this matter.
