A parent may file for a custody decree in pro per (by self-representation) or with the help of a family law attorney. This paperwork can be complicated and obtaining legal advice is highly recommended. If a parent cannot afford a lawyer, they may gain assistance for no charge from various local agencies such as Napa County Legal Assistance Agency, or Napa Emergency Women’s Shelter (NEWS). Please see “Assistance Numbers”.
