You can print out your completed petition and take it to the courthouse for filing. The court clerks are typically notaries and can notarize the document for you. Important: Don’t sign the petition until you’re at the courthouse. Also, take several copies with you.
Once you file, the court will schedule a hearing date. It’s usually a quick process—similar to an uncontested divorce—and typically takes about 10 minutes to be granted.

OK, sounds great! Do I need to bring anything with me?
Yes—bring a checkbook to pay the filing fees and around four unsigned copies of the petition.
