Informational packets regarding the custody of children and the custody process are available at the Custody Office; however, the information and any instructions are general and may not be all a person needs to know to file for custody properly.
IT IS ALWAYS BEST TO BE REPRESENTED BY AN ATTORNEY IN A CUSTODY MATTER.
