My suggestion would be to call the clerk of courts. They can direct you about paperwork that would need to be filed first to start the process. The other option is to talk to an attorney. They can do all the work for you and know what needs to be done. There are free legal services in the Lewiston/Auburn area. They could answer your questions about the process and maybe file the paperwork for you at no charge.
I guess that depends on when you file a case. Then a judge would assign a date
