Custody Paperwork Help

This guide is for the “I have paperwork due and I’m panicking” moment. It’s designed to help you write calmly, organize facts, and avoid common mistakes. Educational only — not legal advice.

Start here (15 minutes)

  1. List the 3–5 main issues the paperwork is asking about (in plain language).
  2. Write a short timeline (10 bullets). Dates only.
  3. Gather proof for only the key points (messages, calendars, school/medical notes).

Your “court-appropriate” writing rule

Write like a calm professional is reading it. Use dates and specifics. Avoid insults, diagnoses, sarcasm, and speculation about motives.
