Need the court to decide custody or visitation? Start here, with confidence.
If you need a Maryland court to establish custody or visitation (child access) for a minor child and there isn't already a custody order in place, this packet gets you from “I don't know where to start” to a properly filed case. We walk you through the core filing requirement every custody case needs, explain when financial disclosure forms are triggered by a child support request, and flag the Parenting Plan tool every custody case eventually requires — even though it isn't filed with your initial paperwork.
Plain-English explanations replace legal jargon at every step, so you understand not just what to file, but why.
