You can go to the courthouse and read the court's file. A court's file is public. You cannot remove anything from the file but you or anyone can read it.

Court's are open Monday - Friday usually from 8:30 - 4:30 pm. The lawsuit would be in the county where the kids live.

Also, you can get a copy of the document. It's called a CERTIFIED COPY. There is a charge for this. Something like a $1 a page.
