Petition for Custody and Support of Minor Children Packet This packet includes the necessary forms to establish custody and support of a minor child. Judicial Council forms, local forms and information are available in the Clerk’s Office, the Stanislaus County Law Library located at 1101 13th Street, Modesto, and on the following Websites: Stanislaus County Superior Court: www.stanislaus.courts.ca.gov Judicial Council’s Self Help: www.courts.ca.gov/selfhelp.htm Judicial Council Forms: www.courts.ca.gov/formsrules.htm

Overview Parents that separate will need to have a plan for deciding how they will share and divide their parenting responsibilities. This plan can be called a parenting plan, a time-share plan, or an agreement ("stipulation") regarding child custody and visitation. Any plan must be in writing and signed by both parents and a judge. In California, either parent can have custody, or the parents can share custody. The judge makes the final decision but usually will approve the arrangement both parents agree upon. If the parents can't agree, the judge will make a decision at a court hearing. The judge will usually not make a decision about custody/visitation until after the parents have met with a mediator. Mediation If parents can't agree on custody/visitation on their own, the judge will have the parents meet with Family Court Services to see if an agreement can be reached with the help of a mediator. Parents can also hire a private mediator. Court Hearing If mediation doesn't work, the judge will make a decision at a hearing. In some courts, the mediator will make a recommendation to the judge about custody/visitation orders. Ask the mediator how the process works in your local court. The judge may appoint an evaluator to recommend a parenting plan. A parent can also ask for an evaluation, but the request may not be granted. Parents may have to pay for an evaluation. The judge also may appoint lawyers for children in custody cases.

Child's Needs Come First The law says that judges must give custody according to what is best for the child. In most

cases, judges give custody to one or both parents. There are times when custody is given to a friend or relative. You should consult a lawyer for information about custody given to non- parents.

Changing Custody/Visitation Orders After a judge makes a custody/visitation order, one or both parents may want to change the order. If the parents can't agree on a change, one of the parents must file a Request for Order with the Court asking for a change. If you want to change your order, you and the other parent will probably have to meet with a mediator to talk about why you want the order to change.

Notes: • The Income and Expense Declaration (FL 150) is included in this packet. This form is also accessible on the Judicial Council website and if filled in directly from the website, calculations will be computed for you.

• Child Custody and Visitation issues - If you are in agreement, you may use the “Stipulation and Order for Custody and/or Visitation of Children” forms along with a Petition for Custody. If you are not in agreement, you may use a “Request for Order” packet.

• Notice of Change of Address and Telephone Number (MC–040). When you have a change in your address or telephone number, you MUST purchase this form and file it with the Clerk’s Office.

Response Packet to Petition for Custody and Support of Minor Children The following forms need to be served on the respondent BLANK. If the respondent chooses to respond, he/she will complete these forms and file them with the Court. This packet includes the necessary forms to respond to a Petition for custody and support of minor children.

Judicial Council forms, local forms and information are available in the Clerk’s Office, the Stanislaus County Law Library located at 1101 13th Street, Modesto, and on the following Websites: Stanislaus County Superior Court: www.stanislaus.courts.ca.gov Judicial Council’s Self Help: www.courts.ca.gov/selfhelp.htm Judicial Council Forms: www.courts.ca.gov/formsrules.htm

Overview Parents that separate will need to have a plan for deciding how they will share and divide their parenting responsibilities. This plan can be called a parenting plan, a time-share plan, or an agreement ("stipulation") regarding child custody and visitation. Any plan must be in writing and signed by both parents and a judge. In California, either parent can have custody, or the parents can share custody. The judge makes the final decision but usually will approve the arrangement both parents agree upon. If the parents can't agree, the judge will make a decision at a court hearing. The judge will usually not make a decision about custody/visitation until after the parents have met with a mediator. Mediation If parents can't agree on custody/visitation on their own, the judge will have the parents meet with Family Court Services to see if an agreement can be reached with the help of a mediator. Parents can also hire a private mediator. Court Hearing If mediation doesn't work, the judge will make a decision at a hearing. In some courts, the mediator will make a recommendation to the judge about custody/visitation orders. Ask the mediator how the process works in your local court.

The judge may appoint an evaluator to recommend a parenting plan. A parent can also ask for an evaluation, but the request may not be granted. Parents may have to pay for an evaluation.

The judge also may appoint lawyers for children in custody cases.

Child's Needs Come First The law says that judges must give custody according to what is best for the child. In most cases, judges give

Exceptions & meaning →

Page 22

custody to one or both parents. But there are times when custody is given to a friend or relative. You should consult a lawyer for information about custody given to non-parents.

Changing Custody/Visitation Orders After a judge makes a custody/visitation order, one or both parents may want to change the order. If the parents cannot agree on a change, one of the parents must file a motion with the Court asking for a change. If you want to change your order, you and the other parent will probably have to meet with a mediator to talk about why you want the order to change.

Use these instructions to complete the Proof of Service by Mail (form FL-335).

A person at least 18 years of age or older must serve the documents. There are two ways to serve documents: (1) personal delivery and (2) by mail. See the Proof of Personal Service (form FL-330) if the documents are being personally served. The person who serves the documents must complete a proof of service form for the documents being served. You cannot serve documents if you are a party to the action.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE PERSON WHO SERVES THE DOCUMENTS (TYPE OR PRINT IN BLACK INK)

You must complete a proof of service for each package of documents you serve. For example, if you serve the respondent and the other parent, you must complete two proofs of service; one for the respondent and one for the other parent.
