Quick answer

Form FL-300 is the Request for Order, the mandatory Judicial Council form used to ask a California family court to make, change or temporarily order something — child custody, visitation (parenting time), child support, spousal or partner support, attorney’s fees and costs, property control, or another matter you specify. It doubles as the notice of hearing, carrying the date, time, department and room. With JustFill you upload the blank FL-300 PDF, the AI auto-detects every field, and you download the completed request free.

What is FL-300?

Need the court to decide something in a California family law case? Form FL-300 is how you ask, and JustFill turns the official four-page Judicial Council PDF into a fillable form in your browser. Three boxes at the top set what you are doing: a request for order, a change to an existing order, or temporary emergency orders. Alongside them you tick what the request is about — child custody, visitation, child support, spousal or partner support, attorney’s fees and costs, property control, or other. The form then serves as the notice of hearing to the other party and walks through restraining order information, the orders you want and the facts supporting them. It rests on Family Code sections including 2045, 2107 and 6320–6326, and on California Rules of Court rule 5.92.

Who fills out FL-300?

  • Parties asking a California family court for custody, visitation, or support orders
  • Anyone seeking to change an order the court has already made
  • Parties who need temporary emergency orders before a full hearing
  • People requesting attorney’s fees and costs or control of property during a case
  • Self-represented litigants in dissolution, legal separation or parentage proceedings

Field-by-field breakdown

What each section of FL-300 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.

Type of request

Three boxes at the top: request for order, change of an existing order, or temporary emergency orders — with the subject boxes for child custody, visitation (parenting time), child support, spousal or partner support, attorney’s fees and costs, property control, and other.

Parties and court

Party or attorney details with State Bar number, firm, address, phone, email; the Superior Court of California county and its addresses; and the petitioner, respondent and other parent or party.

Notice of hearing

Who the request is directed to — petitioner, respondent, other parent or party, or another named person — and the hearing date, time, department and room.

Item 1 — restraining order information

Whether one or more domestic violence restraining or protective orders are currently in effect between the parties, and between which of them. A copy is attached if you have one.

Requested orders and supporting facts

The specific orders sought and the facts behind them, item by item across the remaining pages.

Attachments

Where an answer does not fit, you mark the Attachment box and continue on a separate sheet headed with your name, the case number and “FL-300”, numbered to match the item (for example Attachment 2a).

Common mistakes to avoid

  • 1Using FL-300 to change or end an order granted in a Restraining Order After Hearing (form DV-130 or JV-255). The form itself directs you to different instructions for that.
  • 2Skipping form FL-300-INFO. The form points to it for guidance on completing the request, and the questions assume you have read it.
  • 3Continuing an answer on a loose sheet without labelling it. Attachments must carry your name, the case number, “FL-300” as a title, and the matching item number.
  • 4Leaving the notice of hearing blank. The form is also the notice served on the other party, so the date, time, department and room matter.
  • 5Not disclosing an existing restraining order in item 1, which the court needs before making custody or visitation orders.
  • 6Ticking “temporary emergency orders” for an ordinary request — that box changes how and when the court handles the matter.
