Fl 610 Form PDF Details

The FL-610 form, officially known as the Answer to Complaint or Supplemental Complaint Regarding Parental Obligations, serves as a crucial document within the Superior Court of California. It is primarily used by individuals who wish to oppose a lawsuit related to parental duties, including but not limited to, child support and parentage. To legally contest the claims made in the summons and complaint served to them, parties must file this form with the court clerk at the stated superior court address within 30 days from the date they were served. This form enables the respondent to either agree or disagree with the need for genetic testing to establish parentage, and to express their position on the child support proposed in the judgment attached to the summons and complaint. They can also detail their reasons for disagreeing with the proposed judgment, providing an opportunity to present their side comprehensively. Completing the FL-610 form accurately and submitting it on time is crucial for individuals wishing to ensure their voice is heard in matters of parental obligations. The form also contains sections for personal contact information and instructions for serving a copy on the local child support agency, ensuring all procedural requirements are met for the case to proceed.

(SIGNATURE OF PERSON WHO SERVED ANSWER)

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 in writing, (use Notice of Objection (Governmental), (form FL-666); 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.

The address of the court clerk is the same as the one shown for the Superior Court on the Summons and Complaint (form FL-600). You may have to pay a filing fee.

The local child support agency will tell you when and where to go for the test. The local child support agency will pay for the cost of the test now. If the court decides the test shows parentage as pleaded in the Complaint, you may have to repay this cost to the local child support agency.
