Hi all,
I'm representing myself in court on a custody/access/child support petition. Much of the case conference brief is pretty straightforward, but I'm curious about a few things:
Section 7 - How should I obtain the correct income of the opposing party? I question what little info I've been given so far.
Section 16 - What's a custody/access assessment? I'm asking for sole custody and generous access for the opposing party, so I think I'm good, but I'd be feeling stronger if I could get some detail on what the assessment is.
Section 17 - This seems a big one. Sure, I'd like to get some disclosure from the other side such as a full financial disclosure, but is this the place to request a witness list (of the opposing party) and all that? Is this where I could ask the court to subpoena a witness for my own behalf, such as a police officer or something?
Section 18 - What sort of procedural orders would be requested? I'm wondering what I should be thinking of, and what possibilities would be lurking from the other side.
Thanks so much everyone, I'm really grateful for all replies and all the info I've learned from the website. The law in my eyes is becoming MUCH less daunting.
