Information Sheet: Responsive Declaration to Request for Order
Carefully read the papers you received to make sure you understand what orders are being requested.
If you received a Request for Order (form FL-300),
DO NOT USE Responsive Declaration to Request for Order (form FL-320) to:
Respond to Request for Domestic Violence Restraining Order (form DV-100
). Instead, you must use Response to
Request for Domestic Restraining Order (form DV-120
).
Form FL-320
, Responsive Declaration to Request for Order is the basic form you need. Depending on the
requests made in the Request for Order (form FL-300), you may need other forms.
Notice: The court will order child support based on the income of the parents.
Child support normally continues until the child is 18 years and has graduated from high school.
You must give the court information about your finances. If you do not, the child support order
will be based on information about your income that the court receives from other sources.
Use form FL-320 to let the court and the other party know that you agree or disagree with each of the requests
made in the Request for Order (form FL-300).
If you disagree, use form FL-320 to describe the orders you would like the court to make.
If you do not file and serve form FL-320, the court can still make orders without your input.

Note the date, time, and location of the court hearing.
Check to see if the court ordered a specific date for filing and serving your Responsive Declaration to Request
for Order (form FL-320).
If you need more time before the hearing to prepare a responsive declaration or talk with a lawyer, you may ask
the court to continue the hearing date. For more information, consult with a lawyer or contact the the Family Law
Facilitator or Self-Help Center in your court (see item ).

You must file your paperwork with the court clerk
at least 9 court days before the hearing. If the court
orders a shorter time to file your papers, file them
by the date specified in the order.
Pay filing fees
Generally, you do not have to pay a fee to file the
Responsive Declaration. However, if you have
never filed any papers in the case, you may have to
pay a “first appearance fee,” which, in general,
everyone has to pay when filing court papers in a
case for the first time.
Specify a response to orders requested
Sign and date: Print your name, sign, and write
the date you signed form FL-320.
Items 1–9: Each item on the form matches the
item numbers on the Request for Order (form
FL-300). Complete item 1. Next, mark the same
box that is marked on form FL-300. Then, specify
if you consent (agree) or do not consent to
(disagree with) the orders requested. If you
disagree, describe the order you would like the
court to make. Note: you may file one form
FL-150 to respond to items 3, 4, and 6.
Complete the top portion including your name,
address, and telephone number, the court address,
the name of all the parties in the case, and the case
number. Also, print or type the same hearing date,
time, and department that appears on the Request
for Order (form FL-300).
If you cannot afford to pay the filing fee, you can
ask the court to waive the fees. To do so, complete
and file form FW-001
, Request to Waive Court
Fees and form FW-003, Order on Court Fee
Waiver.
Item 10: Use the space to explain your responses
to items 1–9. Include the reasons why you do not
agree with the orders requested by the other party
and why the court should make the orders you
described. If you need more space, write your
responses on a separate sheet of paper and attach it
to the form (Attached Declaration (form MC-031)
may be used for this purpose).

Serve your papers on the other party
“Service” is the act of giving your legal papers to
all persons named as parties in the case so that they
know what orders you want the court to make.
Note: If a party has a lawyer in the
case, the papers should be served on that party’s
lawyer.
Make 2 copies of your original paperwork. Then,
do one of the following before the filing deadline:
Take your paperwork and copies to the court
clerk to process (or e-file them, if available in
your county). The clerk will keep the original and
give you back copies with a court stamp on them.
Have a stamped copy served; or
Have an unstamped copy of your paperwork
served before you take (or e-file) the
originals and copies to the court clerk to file.
Be sure the original documents are not served.
