Demographic Information Sheet Form PDF Details

The FL/E-ME-811 is a mandatory PDF form used in California family court proceedings involving child custody and visitation. Courts use the data submitted on this form to verify party identities, confirm attorney representation, and ensure that case notices reach the correct mailing addresses. Without an accurate and complete submission, family court services cannot initiate processing, which may delay hearings and court orders for all parties.

Information the form collects

This form organizes the required data into four main sections. The petitioner section requests the full legal name, mailing address, work and home telephone numbers, date of birth, and driver's license number. A parallel section collects the same details for the petitioner's attorney, including bar number, law firm name, and fax number. The respondent section mirrors the petitioner fields. A third-party claimant section captures equivalent information for any additional party named in the case. Completing each section accurately reduces the risk of processing delays.

Children listed on the form

The children section requires the full legal name, date of birth, current age, name and address of school currently attended, and the person each child presently resides with. Family court services may contact a listed school directly, so providing the precise institution name and address is important. The form allows entries for multiple children on a single document.

Declaration and signature

The final section is a declaration under penalty of perjury. Each party completing the form signs and dates this area, certifying that all entries are true and correct. Because any false statement may expose the signatory to criminal liability, reviewing every field against government-issued identification before signing is strongly recommended.

Related family court forms

Family court cases often require several interconnected forms submitted together. The FL-300 Request for Order is filed alongside FL/E-ME-811 to initiate formal custody or visitation orders. The FL-311 Child Custody and Visitation Application details the specific custody arrangement being requested by either party. For temporary arrangements while the case is pending, a Temporary Custody Form may also be required by the court. For situations involving a requested custody modification, the Petition for Change of Custody is available to download and complete on FormsPal. Families dealing with support obligations should also review the Family Law Financial Affidavit, which provides the financial disclosures courts use when calculating support amounts.
