The use of specific domestic relations and guardianship forms is mandated by the Washington State Legislature. All parties in family law cases must use these forms. Forms may be purchased from the Clerk's Office in form packets that range from $5.00 to $40.00. You may also find it helpful to seek the Family Court Facilitator's assistance when selecting forms.

It is recommended you make an appointment with a Facilitator to review completed forms; find answers to questions regarding forms and court procedures and obtain information about community resources.

A Self-Help Center is available at the Family and Juvenile Court Clerk's Office to assist you in selecting the proper forms for your situation. The form packets include step-by-step instructions, along with the proper forms to process your case. All forms are available for purchase at the front counter.

Prior to coming to the Clerk's Office, you may find the form packet you need by reading through the packet descriptions below. The first two pages of each packet are presented to help you determine which fits your situation. Once you have found the packet that best fits your situation:

1. Write the packet number down
2. Come to the Clerk's Office at the Family and Juvenile Court
3. Request the packet number

You may also purchase packets by email to tcclerk@co.thurston.wa.us. Please provide us with the packet number you have chosen. We will reply with the amount of the packet and where to make payment. Once payment is made, the packet will be emailed to you.

Packets are non-refundable, so be sure you have selected the proper packet number.
