This form is used when someone wants the court to make a decision about who is the legal parent of a child and who should have custody, but the other parent doesn't respond to the court case. You would need this form if you're seeking to establish parentage and custody rights and the other parent has failed to file a response with the court.
This form has fillable fields — you can complete it directly in the viewer on the right.
