Child Custody

Is it possible for me to file papers in court to have custody of my children returned to me without having to have an attorney? Where would I obtain such forms to perform this task?

Re: Child Custody

Florida Law: Anyone can proceed pro se (without an attorney) with their case. However, in a situation such as yours I would strongly recommend that you retain an attorney. This is a case that could be a full fledged battle and you will need to be prepared with the law in hand. If you decide to proceed pro se I suggest that you go to your local courthouse and ask if there is a self help division in the courthouse. Good Luck!
