"Charges" usually means criminal matters as opposed to civil matters. Go to your local police station and swear out a complaint charging the other person with tresspass. A policeman will help you with the paperwork. For civil trespass, you have to prepare an appropriate complaint according to the local court rules, file it with the court then serve it with a summons on the other person. A civil court worker probably will not help you prepare civil papers unless it is a small claims court. But every court is different, so check with yours.
If a cop brings civil papers do I have to sign?
I'm not an attorney but don't sign anything until you know what it's about. If you can ...seek counsel, but definitely educate yourself and contact the clerk of the court for the court where these civil papers came from and ask about the complaint, allegations, pleadings, etc. and get all the court forms or the packet for that issue that are available from the clerk of the court. And find out what " motions " are and where and when to use them. You do not have to sign them, however the person serving them on you will file an affidavit saying that he/she did serve you and that will be proof enough that you were served. Your signature is not required to prove to a court that you were served otherwise people would just refuse to sign. Some courts require that some type of description of the person being served be included in the affidavit, just in case that person lies about not being served.

If you want to take someone to civil court how do you go on about it?
To take someone to civil court, you go to the clerk of the court and file papers. Then you get someone to serve papers on the person you want to take to court.AnswerIf you want to "take someone to civil court" you want to sue them. To instigate the proceedings, you should begin by researching the law in the area in which you are filing suit to determine what is necessary to include in the initial complaint or petition. You would then draft a legally sufficient complaint stating your claim. You file this with the court clerk in the appropriate jurisdiction, and arrange to have the defendant served with process. Upon service, the defendant has a limited time with which to respond. If he/she does respond, you would then begin preparing for trial. If there is no response, you would move for a default judgment against that person.
