EspañolOn our Maine Custody page, we created the new subsection Steps to file for parental rights and responsibilities (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. Changes made in English and Spanish! We also added two related statutes about mediation and parenting and support when parents live apart.
