    The custody and visitation law has changed in family cases with any domestic violence between the parents. Under the new law, the parent who committed the domestic violence may not get custody or visitation. However, the parent may get some custody or visitation if he or she meets specific legal requirements.

    If there is any history of domestic violence in your relationship, you should talk with a lawyer about how this law will impact your case. For more information, please read our FAQs on How Domestic Violence Can Impact Custody Decisions. You can also read the text of the new law on our website.

    As is the case with any new law, there are likely to be aspects that are open to interpretation. For this reason, you are strongly urged to talk with an attorney if you have any questions.

    This law went into effect of July 1, 2004 and applies to divorce, dissolution, and custody cases.

    NOTE: There is absolutely no guarantee that any of the forms listed on these pages will be accepted by the judge, or help you get what you want. Many courts have local practices that may require something entirely different.


    Forms, instructions and checklists can be very helpful when you do not have a lawyer. However, forms are limited because of their one-size-fits-all approach. Every family and every situation is different, so while forms are a good starting point, you are strongly urged to seek legal advice from an attorney if you have questions.
