Certification of Parental Fitness

A Certification of Parental Fitness is a legal document submitted by a party to attest to their suitability and capability to have custody of a child. This certification includes information about the party’s physical and mental health, employment status, living arrangements, and ability to provide for the child’s needs. The document may be used as evidence in court to help determine the best interests of the child in a custody case. By filing a Certification of Parental Fitness, a party asserts that they are equipped to provide a safe, stable, and nurturing environment for the child and that they are committed to the child’s overall well-being.
