Negligence can be receiving a late summons, court dates that happen first before I receive mail that I need to attend and recently, another person's case was sent with my own child support summons (that was done without a case to determine it)

If there is a free lawyer then yes, otherwise no. For I cannot afford one at the moment. However who do I file the complaint to if I'm receiving the mail from the 36th district in Detroit and I live by the 40th district court in St Clair Shores?
