The mandatory forms are located at Washington State Courts – State Forms. The State of Washington, in an effort to make the law accessible to all, went to mandatory forms for family law and many other areas of law, such as domestic violence, behavioral health, etc. It is extremely difficult to fly by the seat of your pants and know the ins and outs of law, civil procedure and the local rules for the county that has jurisdiction over your case. Not only do you have to know state and federal rules of evidence, you have to know the superior court’s rules of the county where your case is heard, as well as the local rules of the county superior court. Even lawyers are confounded by these rules. A court facilitator can assist you if you represent yourself and you can google to find directions on the internet.
