Yes! You can use AI to fill out Form CH-117, Order Granting Alternative Service

This check ensures that the 'Case Number' field is not empty. The case number is a critical identifier for the legal proceeding, linking this order to the correct court file. If this field is left blank, the form cannot be correctly filed or associated with the case, leading to rejection by the court clerk.

Validates that exactly one option is selected in the 'This form is attached to' section, either 'CH-116' or 'Other order setting new hearing date'. The form explicitly states to 'check one', so selecting none or both is an error. This ensures clarity on which primary order this alternative service order is supplementing.

Verifies that the date entered in section 1(a), 'Deadline', is in a valid date format (e.g., MM/DD/YYYY). An improperly formatted date is ambiguous and could lead to confusion about the deadline for serving the restrained party. Failure to use a valid format would prevent the system from processing the date correctly.

Checks that the service deadline date in section 1(a) is a future date. The deadline for serving papers must logically occur after the order is granted. An invalid or past date would make the order impossible to comply with and legally unenforceable.

Ensures the checkbox in section 1(b)(1) for 'A copy of this order, including form CH-116 or other order setting new hearing date' is selected. This is the core set of documents that must be served. Failing to select this makes the service order meaningless, as it wouldn't specify serving the primary legal notice.

Validates that if the 'Other' checkbox is selected in section 1(b)(4) 'Papers to Serve', the corresponding text field is filled out. This is crucial for ensuring that any additional documents to be served are explicitly listed. An empty description field would create ambiguity and could invalidate the service attempt.
