How to get help
Identify both cases and the courts with jurisdiction, choose the same-county consolidation or different-county transfer instructions, complete the correct motion and proposed order with both cause numbers, file in the directed court before the applicable deadline, notify all parties and the Attorney General when required, and confirm that the files were transferred or consolidated after the judge acts.
Who this service helps
The guide is for an active SAPCR or modification involving the same children as a pending or planned divorce. It excludes cases involving the Department of Family and Protective Services and specified gestational-agreement circumstances.
