Re: counter-suit, contract

You will need to file an amended complaint. It will be helpful if you are represented by an attorney in circuit court. The court may have forms and instructions available to help members of the public in representing themselves. Check with your County's Clerk of Court. Best regards.

File a motion to amend your complaint. Attach a copy of the proposed amendment to the motion. The rule is that motions to amend should be freely given.
