California Form FL-360 example filled out, example: a respondent asks to set aside a support order
Pat Sample, the respondent, files FL-360 in Sample County. The court ordered Pat to pay support, and Pat learned of fraud on February 10, 2026. The picture shows the filled form, and its names and figures are sample values. The order was entered on January 15, 2026, and the case names Jordan Sample as petitioner and Taylor Sample as the other parent. The application goes to the local child support agency and the other parent, so the petitioner, respondent and other boxes in 1. To stay empty. The hearing is on June 15, 2026, so the court address is same as above and nothing goes in other (specify) in the hearing group because the address is the same. Only the respondent is ordered to pay, so the petitioner and other parent boxes in 2. An order was entered stay empty. Only fraud applies, so Perjury and Lack of notice stay empty in 3. Grounds, and the other 4. time-limit boxes stay empty. Pat types the facts in item 5, so the attached declaration box stays empty. Pat has no attorney, so ATTORNEY FOR (Name) is left blank because Pat acts alone.

Notice for cases involving a local child support agency

This case may be referred to a court commissioner for hearing.

By law, court commissioners do not have the authority to issue final orders and judgments in contested cases unless they are acting as temporary judges.

The court commissioner in your case will act as a temporary judge unless, before the hearing, you or any other party objects to the commissioner acting as a temporary judge.

The court commissioner may still hear your case to make findings and a recommended order.

If you do not like the recommended order, you must object to it within 10 court days; otherwise, the recommended order will become a final order of the court.

If you object to the recommended order, a judge will make a temporary order and set a new hearing.

California Form Fl 360 PDF Details

The FL-360 form, officially titled "Request for Hearing and Application to Set Aside Support Order under Family Code Section 3691," is a mandatory Judicial Council of California form used in family law proceedings. It allows a party to formally request a court hearing to challenge and potentially overturn a previously entered support order.

Grounds for setting aside a support order under the FL-360 include fraud, perjury, false documentation, lack of notice to the affected party, and duress. A request may also be made when the opposing party provided inaccurate income information at the time the original order was made. Each ground must be described clearly in the form and supported by factual statements declared under penalty of perjury.

Filing deadlines are strict. Under Family Code Section 3691, a party must file the request within six months of the date they knew or reasonably should have known about the support order. Courts generally deny requests filed after this deadline. Submitting the FL-360 promptly after discovering a valid ground is critical to preserving your right to challenge the order.

Required information on the form includes the full names and legal roles of all parties, the case number assigned by the court, and the name and address of the court handling the case. The form also asks for the proposed hearing date and time, and a clear statement of the specific legal ground supporting the request. A separate section confirms that the filing complies with the applicable time limits under the family code.

After filing the FL-360, the court schedules a hearing and the other party must receive proper service of the completed form before that date. If the court grants the request, the original support order may be set aside and the case reopened for new proceedings. Parties with disabilities may request reasonable accommodations from the court before the hearing date.

Those going through this process often need to file supporting documents along with the FL-360. Common companion forms include the Income and Expense Declaration (FL-150), which documents each party's current financial situation, and California Form FL-301. You can also find additional California family law forms such as Form FL-600 and Form FL-311 on FormsPal.
