As an owner-builder you would need to obtain building permits, supervise or undertake the building work, and ensure the work meets building regulations and standards.
Posted September 25, 2009 10:33pm. I assume you mean that you each filed a Summons and Petition for either dissolution of marriage or legal separation, and a request for custody of children. It doesn't really matter who filed first, the controlling issue is who was served first.
Courts rarely grant sole custody to a parent without a meaningful showing as to why it is in the child's best interest. File your divorce petition. The divorce petition is the document that lets the court know what you are seeking. It is within the divorce complaint that you will ask for either joint or sole custody. Serve your spouse with the complaint and summons. The summons informs your spouse of the petition and time limit for filing an answer.
