Re: Custody
You have a couple of options. the next step is to receive a date from the court. This will probably be a date for a scheduling conference. You can also use this time to send your discovery requests. Discovery is a tool used to get information from the opposing party. There are specific guidelines you have to follow, otherwise the opposing party will not be forced to answer it.
