Filing for Child Custody Without an Attorney

Grab your pen and paper. This video is a starting point for getting full custody of your children without an attorney. Once again, I am not an attorney and this is not official legal advice.
Update: YT won't let me post links! Google court approved parenting classes for the certificate. Also google search Judge Anthony's Narcissism Class and take it for free!

😢 I am fighting a man trying to take my kids from me. Throwing anything and everything he can think of. Made up or not. I am and have always been the custodial parent fighting against a guy narried to an individual who works within the court system where our case is. To top it off, I have adhd so I look at the for example say 5 steps, and I see 1000 steps. I freeze and just sit there stressed out and panic induced. I am so desperate

[@kd14marketing]

It's SUCH a hard journey. Make sure to go to the self-help center. Most court houses have them. They'll be able to walk you through the steps. That should help with the 'freezing'!! Keep me posted!!

[@MrPaininvain]

Does he see his kids and vice versa?

[@emuchock001]

thank you for your well informed videos. they are very informational and to have someone who understands moms who have been through a lot means a lot. Like you said it's not normal what we go through. But I pray that Gods will be done.

[@kd14marketing]

You got this!!!

[@MrPaininvain]

What if you're not in the position to house the kids 100% and shes on housing but suffering from borderline personality disorder and narcissism. I wouldnt want anything from her just my kids full time.

[@kd14marketing]

This is a great question!! Housing is an absolute necessity. If any party has a mental health diagnosis but is still sustaining basic best interests, that's acceptable in the eyes of a judge. You can always look for subsidized housing as well and see what they can do for you.

Thank you

This video deadass gives me strength I have a newborn (well a month now) and he dad is a covert narcissist, never hit me but still lots of yelling things being broken and hit in front of us and him constantly leaving. I have lots of evidence and I’m just happy to be out of the cycle. It hurts but we got this thank you for this it really helped me

[@kd14marketing]

You ABSOLUTELY have this. Just one thing at a time.

Excellent! Thank you. I’m helping a friend. His baby’s mother is not letting him see his son. He is 2 and the mother only let him have 10 minute visits and the past 4 months refuses to respond to his requests. parent alienation is abuse in its own right. He has to efile. It talks about mediation of which she refused when he asked her. Is this a something we need to address further? . Should he submit evidence showing her refusal to allow him to see his son? It’s text messages mainly.?

[@kd14marketing]

ABSOLUTELY submit evidence of refusal of visits. If that's something that's court-ordered, that's a HUGE violation. You can e-file contempt in most states and even if it doesn't work immediately, he will want to establish a track record of this behavior.

I have court on the 24th of June my attorney withdrew from my custody/divorce case because I fell behind on payments now I'm struggling to come up with another down payment for another attorney I have just over a month before my court date I'm not sure what to do? I have the kids with 95 percent of the time if you can point me in the right direction maybe If I should go to the county clerk and file all my evidence in my case I'm just very lost and uncertain what to do at this point?

[@kd14marketing]

If you're in Colorado! You need to take a look at Elephant Circle and pro-bono cases!! They take cases for free. Also-- go to the self-help and request a virtual hearing. It takes you two out of the same room together. Make sure to write down (in this order): 1) Wishes/requests for the hearing. 2) Causes of why you're requesting those. --- You'll need to submit your own evidence prior to the hearing (ASAP given the date). Also, take a look at advocates in your area who can go to the hearing with you and just provide that extra "mph" of support.

[@rudyguerra4619]

@kd14marketing thank you I'm looking into everything right now so I can be prepared I actually found somebody who's wiling to help go over all my evidence and paperwork so I can efile it and he's going to help me with that too so I'm hoping that works out for me

[@kd14marketing]

@rudyguerra4619 YES! You go girl! All we need is one door to open. We can figure everything out from there.

The clerk would not help me at all

[@kd14marketing]

That can be very tricky. I'd ask a friend to go with. It could be having a neutral party that's not involved? I know I had to ask my mom to help quite a few times before they finally just got used to seeing me.

[@ChiefChizzy]

I filed my petition for custody after CPS took my kid from her mom, i got her counter claim whatever and shes requesting full custody again. I dont know what to do next. The courts accepted the case, but she just got a lawyer im filing pro se lol i just, should file motions incluing evidence and request a hearing?

[@kd14marketing]

Yes! Request a hearing and make sure to submit your evidence at least a week before the hearing. You'll need things about school, doctors visits, financials. Try to show that you're supporting the child most. You may end it all with 50/50 so be prepared for that emotionally speaking. For cross-examination-- be prepared to ask about her income and her living situation. You can also request the CPS records and upload/submit those as evidence prior to the hearing.

[@ChiefChizzy]

@@kd14marketing I've already come to grips with the 5050 stuff,even though it's completely irrational to give a mother who's lost her kids twice to cps. Thanks for the advice I'll get a hold of CPS for evidence

[@kd14marketing]

@@ChiefChizzy I completely agree. In some states, it's illegal but not acknowledged for the most part. Make sure to use a binder with monthly tabs and print EVERYTHING throughout every month as you go. Especially if she lawyered up. Try to come at her with empathy (or some approach similar). It'll show that you're at least trying to get along which is a HUGE factor. In some states, they have free attorneys for victims of domestic violence which kiddo qualifies for, unfortunately. I wish you the best!! 💓

[@AlexisLeal-rh7wb]

What papers can I file? Too start the process.

[@kd14marketing]

You need to file the original MOTION FOR CHILD CUSTODY. The name may differ depending on where you live. Nearly every courthouse has a self-help office/law library. Stop in there and see if they can pull it up for you. There will also likely be fee waivers as well so make sure to ask about that!
