What to do if I need help filling child custody papers from court?

Each Superior Court location has a self-help center.  These centers have weekly schedules and some only provide assistance on certain types of matters on certain days.  In general, the self-help centers don't provide the level of expertise or the level of service you would want--but its free.

Some lawyers offer what is called "limited scope" work.  That means they may be willing to help you fill out paperwork--and you would remain your own legal representative without a lawyer in court.  Such assistance is less expensive than retaining an attorney, but certainly more expensive than the free help at the self-help centers.

Best of luck.
