A: You need to read the verified petition for sole custody of minor child and modification of child support and answer each numbered paragraph ADMIT or DENY. After you do that then a hearing can be scheduled on the merits. At the hearing you can present your evidence through testimony and exhibits. Speak with a local family lawyer for more specific advice.
