Tips for filling out form FL-300-INFO

When completing form FL-300-INFO, pay special attention to these less obvious sections:

Item 1

Other Persons' Names

Remember to include all relevant parties involved in the case beyond just the primary participants. This may include a grandparent, a local child support agency, or a lawyer representing a child in your case.
Item 3

Selecting Order Types

Be precise when checking the boxes. If you are requesting temporary emergency orders, ensure these are specifically marked, as they require a demonstration of immediate danger or irreparable harm.
Item 6

Custody Mediation Appointment

Check with your court to see if you need to arrange the appointment for mediation or if the court clerk will do it and fill out this section accordingly. Different counties have different procedures.

What to do after filing form FL-300-INFO

1
Serve the Request for Order and any required blank forms to the other party using either personal service or service by mail, as appropriate.
