Do I have to have an attorney to file a Motion Regarding Parenting Time, Support or Custody?
No, you may pick up the forms and instructions at the Friend of the Court (FOC) office and file the motions yourself at the County Clerk’s office. There is a $100 fee for the Motions Regarding Parenting Time and Custody, and a $60 fee for the Motion Regarding Support. The FOC can not file a motion, provide an attorney or complete the paperwork for you.
