How It Works
Free Consultation
We discuss your custody situation and identify the documents you need. We cannot advise on what custody arrangement to seek — we prepare documents based on your instructions.
Document Preparation
We prepare all custody forms based on the schedule and arrangement you want. Every document is completed at your specific direction.
Filing Instructions
We provide clear instructions for filing with the court. You file the documents and attend any hearings — we make sure your paperwork is court-ready.
Important: We are not attorneys. We cannot advise on custody arrangements or represent you in custody hearings. We prepare documents at your direction.
