Divorce and paternity customers needing to modify their court orders can find the required Pro-Se paperwork available in the Hearing Officer Office, located in the new courthouse at 150 West Santa Fe St., Suite 1300, Olathe, KS 66061 or on the Help Center's website.

• Motion and Notice of Hearing

• Return of Service for certified mail
• A copy of the page(s) in your divorce decree/property settlement agreement or paternity order which states that the party shall be responsible for the medical/dental expenses, copies of the medical/dental bills which have been paid
• A copy of a statement wherein a request was made in writing for payment of these bills and the same has been refused.

All parties to the case and their attorneys of record must be served with this paperwork. Instructions are included with the Pro-Se forms.

COST: no cost to file this paperwork.
