KCJT — Family court preparation questions

General education; not a court filing or legal advice.

1. What does my newest signed order require?
2. What court, division, county, and case number apply?
3. What is the next hearing for, and what deadlines must I confirm?
4. Am I asking about custody, parenting time, enforcement, an appeal, or agency review?
5. Which facts and original records support my request?
6. How must exhibits and witnesses be presented and the other parties notified?
7. What service or access barriers should I explain?
8. Can legal aid or a lawyer help with a limited task?

Do not assume a complaint or records request changes an order or extends a deadline.
