What this form asks for

The AI fills all of it, from your answers or your documents.

Form FL-320 is a mandatory Judicial Council of California form used in family law cases to respond to a 'Request for Order' (Form FL-300). The person responding uses this form to tell the court and the other party whether they agree or disagree with the requests regarding child custody, visitation, support, property control, and other issues. Today, this form can be filled out quickly and accurately using AI-powered services like Instafill.ai, which can also convert non-fillable PDF versions into interactive fillable forms.

The AI checks your answers before you download

14 checks built for this form, so a wrong date or a missing answer is caught before anyone else sees it.

Case Number Presence and Consistency

This check ensures that the 'CASE NUMBER' field is filled out on both page 1 and page 2, and that the value is identical in both locations. The case number is the primary identifier for the legal proceeding, and any inconsistency or omission can lead to misfiling or rejection of the document by the court clerk. Failure to provide a consistent case number will prevent form submission until corrected.

Hearing Date Validity

Validates that the 'HEARING DATE' field contains a valid, future date. A hearing date must be in the future for the court to schedule the appearance. This check prevents the submission of forms with impossible, past, or incorrectly formatted dates, which would cause scheduling conflicts and processing errors.

Mutually Exclusive Restraining Order Selection

In Section 1, this validation ensures that the user selects either checkbox 1a ('No domestic violence restraining/protective orders are now in effect') or 1b ('I agree that one or more... orders are now in effect'), but not both. These two statements are contradictory, and selecting both would create ambiguity. The form will display an error if both or neither are selected, forcing the user to clarify the current status of protective orders.

Conditional Requirement for Child Custody/Visitation Details

This check verifies that if the user selects checkbox 2c ('I do not consent to the order requested... but I consent to the following order:'), the corresponding text field for detailing the proposed order is not empty. It is crucial for the court to understand the respondent's counter-proposal for custody and visitation. If this field is left blank after checking the box, the submission will be flagged as incomplete.

Conditional Requirement for Financial Declaration in Support Matters

This validation checks that if a user contests or proposes an alternative for Child Support (Section 3), Spousal Support (Section 4), or Attorney's Fees (Section 6), they have also checked the box indicating a current Income and Expense Declaration has been filed. Financial orders require supporting documentation, and failing to declare this can result in the court disregarding the response or delaying the hearing. The system should warn the user if they contest an order without this declaration.

Mutually Exclusive Consent Options for Property Control

In Section 5 (Property Control), this check ensures that the user selects either 5a ('I consent to the order requested') or 5b ('I do not consent to the order requested'), but not both. Selecting both options is logically inconsistent and makes the response unclear. The system will prevent submission until a single, unambiguous choice is made.

Common Mistakes in Completing FL-320

The ones the AI is built to catch.

Failing to File Required Financial Declarations
Sections 3, 4, and 6 often require the submission of a separate Income and Expense Declaration (form FL-150) or a Financial Statement (FL-155). A very common and critical error is checking the box on this form but failing to complete and file the separate, detailed financial form. Without the required financial declaration, a judge cannot make orders for support or attorney's fees and will likely deny your request or grant the other party's request by default.
Inconsistent or Missing Case Information
Filers often forget to enter the Case Number, Petitioner, and Respondent names on the second page, or they enter them inconsistently. All information in the header of every page must exactly match the court's records and the first page. This simple clerical error can cause the court clerk to reject the entire filing, forcing you to refile and potentially miss a critical deadline.
Providing Vague or Unenforceable Counter-Proposals
When checking 'I do not consent... but I consent to the following order,' many people write vague proposals like 'reasonable visitation' or 'a fair amount of support.' These statements are not specific enough for a judge to turn into a court order. Your proposal must be clear and detailed (e.g., 'I propose the children be with me on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th weekends of the month') to be seriously considered by the court.
Submitting an Inadequate Factual Declaration
Section 9, 'FACTS TO SUPPORT,' is the most important part of the form, yet it is often left blank, is too brief, or is filled with emotional statements rather than objective facts. This section is your opportunity to explain to the judge *why* your proposed orders should be granted. You must provide a clear, concise, and factual narrative that directly supports each request you are making or opposing in the form.
Forgetting to Sign and Date the Declaration
The signature under the phrase 'I declare under penalty of perjury' is what makes the document a valid legal declaration. An unsigned or undated form is legally invalid and will be rejected by the court clerk. This can lead to your response not being considered, and the court may make orders based solely on the other party's request as if you never responded.
Incorrectly Completing the Party/Attorney Information Box
Self-represented parties often get confused by the top-left box and may put their name in the 'ATTORNEY FOR' field or leave fields blank. If you do not have an attorney, you must enter your own name, address, and contact information, and write 'Self-Represented' or 'In Pro Per' on the 'ATTORNEY FOR' line. Incorrectly filling this section can cause confusion and delays in processing your documents.
Neglecting to Respond to All Requested Orders
This form is a *response* to the other party's 'Request for Order.' A common mistake is to only address the issues you care about (like custody) and ignore others (like property control or attorney's fees). If you do not check a box for a specific issue, the court may interpret your silence as agreement and grant the other party's request for that item.
Making Contradictory Selections Within a Section
Within a single numbered section (e.g., Section 2 for Child Custody), filers sometimes check multiple conflicting boxes, such as both 'I consent to the order requested' and 'I do not consent.' This makes your position on the issue completely unclear to the court. This ambiguity may cause a judge to disregard your filing for that topic and default to the other party's clear request.
Misidentifying Petitioner and Respondent
The roles of 'Petitioner' (the person who started the case) and 'Respondent' are fixed throughout the life of a case. People sometimes get these reversed or put their own name in the wrong box. This creates confusion and can lead to filing rejections. AI-powered form-filling tools like Instafill.ai can help prevent this by saving case information and auto-populating party details correctly on all related forms.
Submitting an Illegible or Improperly Hand-Filled Form
When a form is only available as a non-fillable PDF, people often resort to filling it out by hand, which can result in illegible writing or information crammed into small spaces. A messy form is unprofessional and risks being misinterpreted by the clerk or the judge. Tools like Instafill.ai can convert flat PDFs into interactive, fillable versions, ensuring your submission is clean, legible, and professional.
Omitting the Supporting Declaration for Attorney's Fees
When attorney's fees are at issue (Section 6), the court requires more than just the financial data in the FL-150. Filers often forget to also complete and attach the 'Supporting Declaration for Attorney's Fees and Costs Attachment' (form FL-158). This separate form details the legal work performed and justifies the amount requested. Forgetting this attachment will almost certainly lead to the denial of a request for fees.

What is the purpose of Form FL-320, Responsive Declaration to Request for Order?
Form FL-320 is used in California family law cases to respond to a Request for Order (Form FL-300) filed by another party. It allows you to tell the judge whether you agree with, disagree with, or want to propose different orders before your court hearing.
Who needs to file this form?
You should file this form if you have been served with a Request for Order and you want to respond to the requests being made. If you do not file a response, the judge may make orders based only on the other party's information.
Do I need to attach other documents when filing Form FL-320?
Yes, if your response involves financial matters like child support, spousal support, or attorney's fees, you must also file a current Income and Expense Declaration (Form FL-150). You may also need other attachments depending on the specific requests.
How do I respond if I disagree with the requested order for child custody?
In Section 2, check the box for 'I do not consent to the order requested for child custody/visitation.' Then, in the space provided, clearly write the specific custody and visitation schedule that you are asking the court to order instead.
What is the 'Facts to Support' section for?
Section 9 is where you provide a written statement explaining the reasons and evidence that support your position. This declaration is made under penalty of perjury and is limited to 10 pages unless the court gives you permission for more.
What happens if I don't file a Responsive Declaration before my hearing?
If you fail to file a response, the court can make orders without having your side of the story in writing. The judge may make decisions based solely on the information provided by the party who filed the Request for Order.
Do I have to fill out the sections on support if the request is only about custody?
No, you only need to complete the sections that correspond to the orders being requested by the other party. If the request is only about child custody, you would primarily fill out Section 2 and Section 9.
How do I submit this form after filling it out?
After completing and signing the form, you must file the original with the court clerk and serve a copy on the other party or their attorney. Service must be done by someone over 18 who is not a party to the case.
