Court Ready 101: A Parent’s Guide For Custody & Visitation Without an Attorney

The purpose of this guide is to support parents whose matters were not resolved through mediation, or where mediation was not appropriate due to the specific circumstances of the case. This guide aims to present that foundational framework in a clear and organized way so self-represented parents can better understand the process.

It is designed to help you better understand the custody and visitation process and to navigate it independently with confidence, organization, and a continued focus on the best interests of the child.
