EspañolOn our North Carolina Custody page, we created the new subsection Steps to file for custody, which reorganized the steps into six separate questions, making it easier for users to find the information they need:
- Considerations before filing
- Step 1: Prepare for the case
- Step 2: File and serve the custody petition
- Step 3: Preliminary court dates
- Step 4: Reach an agreement or go to trial
- Step 5: Options if you disagree with the order
These questions explain the usual stages in a custody case and cross-link to other relevant information on our website.
In addition, we created the following three new questions in our How the custody process works subsection:
- Is there a fee to file for custody? What if I can’t afford it?
- Do I have to take parenting classes?
- What is mediation? Do I have to do it?
Changes made in English and Spanish!
We also added one related statute (7A-494. Custody and Visitation Mediation Program established) to our North Caroline Statutes page.
