1 If you received a Request for Order (form FL-300), • Carefully read the papers you received to make sure you understand what orders are being requested. • 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 16 ). 2 USE Responsive Declaration to Request for Order (form FL-320) 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.

3 DO NOT USE Responsive Declaration to Request for Order (form FL-320) to: • Ask for court orders that were not requested in the Request for Order (form FL-300). Instead, file and serve your own Request for Order (form FL-300) to ask for orders about other issues. • 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).
