Frequently Asked Questions

Do you have custody papers here?
Yes. There are different forms depending on what action you need or what step you are at in the custody process. Various forms for custody can be found on our website.

 
Can I make copies, here, at the Law Library?
Yes. Copies are available for 20 cents per page. We cannot print in color. Attorneys can ask about setting up a ‘copier account’ for ease of printing purposes.

 
Can I check out books here? Unfortunately, we are not a public library, so our books may only be checked out to attorneys or officers of the court. The public is welcome to visit and may browse materials for in-library use only.

Do you have form X, Y, or Z?
Many forms are available on our website. They are free to print if you have access to a printer. I cannot tell you what form you need, but this is a price list for most of the forms available in-person at the library. If you need a more specialized form, one not offered through the Pro Se center, I’d advise contacting an attorney.
