washington state parenting plans
What forms do we need to get custody?
My step-son lives with his mother and my husband pays child support but they never set up a parenting plan. He wants to get custody of him because his mother doesn’t take care of him like she should and is living in a travel trailer with 3 adults and 2 kids. CPS has already been called (for numerous reasons) he just needs to know what court forms to file (Washington state) in order to get custody of him. Hiring a lawyer is out of the question since we are trying to move and don’t have that kind of money.
Most family courts have “pro se packages” (pro se meaning you are representing yourself) that you can pick up from the clerk’s office. They will give you instructions, but not legal advice.
Go to the clerk’s office and tell them what you want to do, and they will probably be able to give you the necessary paperwork.
