Spring 2024 | | --- | --- | --- | Family Law Forms Dell DeHay Law Librarians print a selection of the forms packets for patrons to purchase at a cost of $0.25 per page. Many forms come from Texas Law Help—they provide fill-in-the blank forms for many family law situations, including but not limited to divorce, child custody, adult adoption, name change, and modification of prior custody orders. It is important to note that there are not fill-in-the-blank forms for every legal situation. Some situations require the creation of forms from legal templates. The forms that are available are designed for pro se individuals representing themselves in family court. Librarians may also email certain resources for free. By law, librarians are not permitted to help fill out forms, but they can provide information for speaking with an attorney and/or legal aid. Email library staff at lawl[ibrary@tarrantcountytx.gov](ibrary@tarrantcountytx.gov) if you have a specific question in regard to our website and/or would like resources emailed to you. Left: A sample Counter-Petition for SAPCR (Suit Affecting the Parent Child Relationship) Right: A sample Final Decree of Divorce. Both are examples of fill-in-the blank forms available on Texas Law Help’s website. Family Law Workshops Do you have questions about going to court? Twice a month, Tarrant County’s Domestic Relations Office hosts Family Law Workshops on the 3rd floor of the 1895 Courthouse.
