Your header should include the same information that is at the top of the petition: the case number, names of the parties involved, their addresses, dates of birth, lawyers' names, etc. The body of your answer is where you'll respond to the petitioner's claims. Respond to the custody petition paragraph by paragraph.
Writing an answer for child custody You'll specify which parts of the petition you agree with, which parts you disagree with and which you don't know about. Your answer can address errors like incorrect dates and locations, plus whether you agree with what the petitioner is asking for (e.g., the type of custody).
Send your Answer to the address stated in the Summons that was served on you with the petition. The Certificate of Service that you completed and filed with the court is your proof to the court that you did mail a copy of your Answer to the other side's attorney, or to him/her.
How to fill out the Child Support Affidavit for Documentation? Enter the Head of Household Name and the Unit number. Provide the names of the child(ren) involved. Indicate if you receive court-ordered child support. Fill in the details of the support provider if applicable. Sign and date the form to certify accuracy.
Be specific. Don't ramble or repeat yourself, and don't include irrelevant information. Don't lie or make assumptions not supported by facts and evidence — include only information that you have personal knowledge of. Don't use inflammatory language or rant about the other parent.
The affidavit should explicitly discuss how the arrangement aligns with the best interests of the child by protecting his or her health, safety and overall well-being. Supporting facts: details about the preferred arrangement and evidence or documentation proving the individual's ability to meet the child's needs.
All parental responsibility and time-sharing cases need a Cover Sheet, a Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act Affidavit, and a Child Support Guidelines Worksheet. They also require a parenting plan, but you don't have to use the form the courts provide.
Filing online for child custody offers accessibility to individuals seeking resolutions in family law matters, as legal proceedings can be expensive and time-consuming. The state of California recognizes the need to adapt to such changes.
