Legal processes typically require the filing of forms and other documents, whether it's the initial petition or documentary evidence to back one's claim. In the practice area of family law, which includes everything from adoption to divorce, there are forms for nearly every action. You'll either fill out and file forms yourself or your attorney will take charge of the process, depending on which particular action you're contemplating.
