Child Custody and Visitation Kit | Parenting Plan Template | Custody Petition | Modify Custody Forms | Pro Se Family Court | Fillable PDF

Need a custody order, or need to change one? Custody cases come down to one question: what is in your children's best interests? The ReadyPro Se Child Custody and Visitation Kit helps you organize your case, build a detailed parenting plan, file or respond, prepare for mediation and court, and follow the order, in plain English.

Created by ReadyPro Se, the first self-help legal tech tool created by J.D.s and attorneys, not tech companies.

The guide walks you through six stages, from organizing your case to living with the final order. Each stage fits on one page, with a diagram, a short "Do This" list, the tools to use, the mistakes to avoid, and the key deadline.

The kit includes a fully completed sample custody petition, with a note beside each part explaining what it does and why.

The forms are FILLABLE PDFs. Type directly into each box, then print. Many boxes start with sample wording you simply edit. Legal words in the guide are highlighted: point to one in Adobe Acrobat Reader to see its definition, or click it in any PDF reader to jump to the glossary.
