How to File for Child Custody in Hanover County, Virginia
- 1). Obtain a copy of Form 511 for the filing of custody of a child. The form is available for online entry on the Virginia Court website. Copies are also available at the General District Court in Hanover.
- 2). Complete the form in its entirety and truthfully. Your signature on the form will be either certified by the intake officer if the parent files or by a notary public if an attorney handles delivery of the form.
- 3). Have an attorney deliver the form to the clerk of the court for the Hanover County General District Court. Make sure the form is notarized before doing so. If you deliver the form, take it to the child services unit located in the same building as the court. The intake officer will verify your signature on-site so do not sign the form until you speak with the officer.
