Legal Question in Family Law in Washington
Writ of habeas corpus
I would like to know if I can present a writ in front of the judge myself (because I'm indigent) for a habeas corpus dealing with the removal of a child. And two: how much is the filing fee for the state of Washington? Thanks.

If you are truly indigent pursuant to the court's standards the court would likely waive the filing fee. Most law libraries or court facilitators will have sample motions for you. A great resource for pro se parties is www.washingtonlawhelp.org

If you have an already open family law/paternity case, you can file it within the existing action. If there is no existing action, the filing fee is probably going to be the domestic action filing fee: $240.00.
