If you need the court to make an order about anything, from the care of children to the payment of spousal support to the division of property, you must begin a court proceeding. There are certain steps you must take, certain fees you must pay and certain forms you must fill out before the court will hear your claim. Although the staff at the court registries are friendly and very helpful, it is your job to prepare these materials, gather your evidence, and take the steps necessary to bring your case before a judge.
