How do I file for custody or visitation or modification of an existing custody or visitation order established in the Shelby County Juvenile Court?
A. The best way is to contact an attorney who will gather information and put it in the correct format to file a complaint or motion. You may, however, choose to file a pro se action on your own. If you choose to do so, you must correctly prepare all forms and proper legal papers on your own. If you fail to correctly complete all papers, your case may be dismissed. The court cannot act as your attorney. If you choose to file on your own, it will be up to you to try your own case. You must also pay a filing fee of $150.00 to start an action or $100.00 to reopen an existing case.
