			<h1>Legal documents</h1>
			<p>For use in a court of law</p>
		</header>
<p>
	Sometimes the courts don&apos;t provide or standardise their legal forms.
	Instead, you have to get a lawyer to draft your forms for you, purchase your forms from a third party, or attempt to draft your forms yourself and hope they&apos;re legally admissible.
	It&apos;s a very broken system.
	I&apos;ve had to go to court bringing my own self-produced forms, and figuring out what exactly needed to be on the forms was a pain.
	To save you some trouble, if you need to go to court for the same reasons, I&apos;ve provided here the forms I used.
	However, <strong><em>I am not a lawyer and I do not take responsibility for your use of these forms.
	By using these forms, you agree to do so at your own risk.</em></strong>
</p>
<p>
	I&apos;ve provided these forms in <abbr title="Portable Document Format">PDF</abbr> form for easy printing.
	However, these forms are offered to you under the terms of the <abbr title="GNU&apos;s Not Unix">GNU</abbr> <abbr title="General Public License version Three or later">GPLv3+</abbr> with court-filing exception.
	The preferred form for editing them is probably the <abbr title="OpenDocument Text">ODT</abbr> files, so I&apos;ve provided those as well.
	The court-filing exception is as follows:
</p>
<blockquote>
	<p>
		You may remove all attributions and license text when filing these documents with a court of law.
		You are not required by the copyright holder to retain any text or identifiers not specifically required by the court you file with.
		However, for any use other than filing with a court of law (for example, for redistributing these forms or their derivatives online), all attribution and licence text must remain intact.
	</p>
</blockquote>
<h2>Name change in Oregon</h2>
<p>
	I&apos;m currently in the process of changing my legal name in Oregon.
	Once that&apos;s complete, the process will have tested the legal admissibility of the forms I&apos;m using along the way.
	I&apos;ll post a copy of the forms I used here at that time.
