Official FL-110 from Judicial Council of California

Quick answer

Form FL-110 is the Summons (Family Law) adopted for mandatory use by the Judicial Council of California. It is served on your spouse or domestic partner together with the petition and tells them a case has started, that they have 30 calendar days to file a Response (form FL-120), and what the court may order if they do not. Page two prints the standard family law restraining orders, which bind the petitioner once the petition is filed and the summons issued, and the respondent once served (Family Code § 233), until judgment, dismissal or a further order. The Judicial Council PDF (Rev. January 1, 2015) is itself fillable; with JustFill you fill the court, party and attorney details in your browser, and the first clean completed PDF download is included at no charge.

What is FL-110?

FL-110 is the notice half of starting a California family law case. The official two-page bilingual Judicial Council PDF (Rev. January 1, 2015) is already fillable in Adobe Reader; JustFill lets you complete it in your browser without Acrobat, including a flattened, scanned or printed copy. It rests on Family Code sections 232, 233, 2024.7, 2040 and 7700, and Code of Civil Procedure sections 412.20 and 416.60–416.90. The English and Spanish text runs side by side. You complete the court name and address, the respondent’s name, the petitioner’s name, and the name, address and telephone number of the petitioner’s attorney or of the petitioner filing without one. The clerk dates and signs it. Page two carries the four standard restraining orders and the notices about health insurance and jointly held property.

Download the FL-110 form PDF — free

The official FL-110 (Rev. January 1, 2015) is free from the Judicial Council of California at courts.ca.gov — the short link courts.ca.gov/documents/fl110.pdf redirects to the current file. It is a fillable, bilingual PDF (English and Spanish side by side) with Print, Save and Clear buttons for Adobe Reader. Upload it to JustFill to complete the respondent, petitioner, court and attorney boxes in your browser; the first clean completed PDF download is included at no charge. Leave the clerk's date and signature blank — the court issues the summons when you file the petition.

Who fills out FL-110?

  • The petitioner in a California divorce, legal separation or annulment
  • A petitioner ending a registered domestic partnership, which uses the same FL-100 petition and FL-110 summons (a parentage petition, FL-200, uses Summons FL-210 instead)
  • Self-represented filers preparing the summons alongside form FL-100
  • Process servers and paralegals preparing papers for service

Field-by-field breakdown

What each section of FL-110 asks for. JustFill’s AI will detect these fields automatically when you upload the PDF — review the breakdown below so you know what to enter.

Notice to Respondent (name)

The name of the person being served, in the box at the top left. This is the party who then has 30 calendar days after service to file a Response (form FL-120). The case number box at the top right is completed by the clerk.

Petitioner’s name is

The name of the person who filed the petition, in the box directly under the notice to the respondent.

Item 1 — name and address of the court

The superior court’s name and street address, in numbered item 1 near the bottom of page 1, next to the court seal.

Item 2 — petitioner’s attorney or self-represented petitioner

The name, address and telephone number of the petitioner’s attorney, or of the petitioner if there is no attorney.

Clerk’s signature

Date, clerk and deputy. This part is completed by the court, not by you.

Page 2 — standard restraining orders

Pre-printed and not filled in: neither party may remove minor children from the state or apply for a replacement passport for them; cash, borrow against, cancel or change beneficiaries of insurance; transfer, encumber, conceal or dispose of property outside the usual course of business or the necessities of life; or create or modify a nonprobate transfer, in each case without written consent or a court order.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • 1Serving the summons without the petition. They are served together.
  • 2Assuming a letter or phone call counts as a response. The form says plainly that it does not — only a filed Response (form FL-120) does.
  • 3Missing the 30 calendar days. Not business days.
  • 4Treating the restraining orders as one-sided. They are effective against both spouses or partners until dismissal, judgment or a further order.
  • 5Signing the clerk’s block. The clerk completes the date and signature, not the filer.
  • 6Overlooking the five-business-day notice rule for extraordinary expenditures, which appears in the same box as the restraining orders.

FL-110 example — what a filled-out form looks like

A fictional self-represented petitioner files for dissolution of marriage in a California superior court and prepares the summons to be issued with the FL-100 petition. Only four boxes are the petitioner's to fill; everything else is pre-printed or for the clerk.

Notice to Respondent (name)

SAM EXAMPLE

The spouse being served, spelled as on the petition. The Spanish "Aviso al demandado" is the same box.

Petitioner's name is

ALEX EXAMPLE

The person filing. The case number box to the right stays empty until the clerk assigns one.

Item 1 — name and address of the court

Superior Court of California, County of Alameda — family law courthouse street address from the court's website

Use the courthouse where the petition is filed; counties with several branches list the family law branch separately.

Item 2 — petitioner's attorney, or petitioner without an attorney

Alex Example, in pro per — 100 Sample Street, Oakland, CA 94612 — (510) 555-0100

A self-represented petitioner gives their own name, address and telephone number here; the respondent uses it to serve the Response.

Date / Clerk, by / Deputy / seal

Left blank

The clerk dates, signs and seals the summons when the petition is filed. Filling this in yourself invalidates nothing but shows the form was not issued.

Page 2 — standard family law restraining orders

Nothing to fill in

Pre-printed. They bind the petitioner once the petition is filed and the summons issued, and the respondent once served, until judgment, dismissal or a further order (Family Code § 233).

What is served with it

File-stamped FL-110 and FL-100, plus a blank Response (FL-120)

Served by someone 18 or older who is not part of the case — never the petitioner — who then completes Proof of Service of Summons (FL-115) for filing.

These values are made up. They are here to show what belongs on each line, not to be copied — every name, number, and address on your own FL-110 has to be your own.

Frequently asked questions

30 calendar days after the summons and petition are served, to file a Response (form FL-120) and have a copy served on the petitioner.
The form warns that the court may make orders affecting the marriage or partnership, property and custody, and may order payment of support and attorney fees and costs.
Yes. The Judicial Council prints the English and Spanish text side by side on the same form.
The court clerk. You complete the party and contact details; the clerk dates and signs to issue it.
The form tells you to ask the clerk for a fee waiver form. The court may later order you to pay back all or part of the waived fees.
Yes. The Judicial Council's own FL-110 PDF (Rev. January 1, 2015) is a fillable form with Print, Save and Clear buttons; it works in Adobe Reader. If your copy has been flattened, scanned or printed, or you do not have Acrobat, upload it to JustFill: the AI detects the boxes and you type the respondent, petitioner, court and attorney details in your browser. The first clean completed PDF download is included at no charge.
Anyone 18 or older who is not part of the case — a friend, relative, county sheriff or registered process server — but never the petitioner. The server hands the respondent the file-stamped summons and petition plus a blank Response (form FL-120), or, if the respondent agrees, mails them with a Notice and Acknowledgment of Receipt (form FL-117). The server then completes Proof of Service of Summons (form FL-115), which the petitioner files; the court will not move the case forward until it is filed.
