FL-311: Child Custody and Visitation Attachment (Part 1)
Timecodes:
hello my name is William from Pomona
courthouse assuming that John Doe is the
litigant let me guide you through the FL
- 311 form I want to bring to attention
that I will approach this forum for
general cases if you believe your case
to be a typical please visit one of the
self-help centers for assistance click
here for information about the self-help
centers first fill in the captions above
so I'm going to go ahead and write John
Doe and Jenny Ito case number Li point
check the petition box
check box number one for custody
write down the names of the children and
their respective birth dates so I'm
gonna go ahead and write john doe's
first child is Johnny though his
birthday is July 1st 2009 second child
is Jamie also though and her birthday is
now for legal and physical custody check
to see what you wrote on the FL - 200
form or the FL - 100 form if you put so
legal custody for yourself write your
name and petitioner in parentheses
underneath like this John Doe
missionary
if you put sole legal custody for the
respondent right the respondents name
and respondent and parentheses
underneath like this responding
if you put joint legal custody right
joint for your following children like
this join
the same applies for physical custody if
you put primary physical custody for
yourself put your name and petitioner
and parentheses underneath like this
John Doe petition
if you put primary physical custody for
the respondent right the respondents
name and respondent in parentheses
underneath like this though respond
if you put join for physical custody
right joint for your following children
like this join join
for our example I put joint legal
custody and primary physical custody for
John Doe in my earlier videos so let's
just translate that onto the FL - 311
form joint legal custody is joint joint
for John those two children primary
physical custody for John Doe so right
John Doe here and
for visitation checkbox - if you put
reasonable visitation earlier checkbox a
if you put no visitation checkbox D if
you put a specific visitation schedule
checkbox
E
if is checked off also check whether the
visitation schedule is for you
petitioner or the respondent for the
sake of our example I will check off
respondent that means that John Doe has
a set visitation schedule for the
respondent Jane Dido and let's scroll
down now if you checked off box II you
have three options option 1 covers
weekends option two covers alternate
weekends and option 3 covers weekdays I
want to point out that you can check
more than one option for example let's
say that John Doe grants Jane Vito
visitation rights on all weekends of the
month and every Tuesday from 3 p.m. to 8
p.m.
let's now go ahead and fill in the
schedule on the FL - 311 form first I'll
check off box number 1 weekends and
write a date for when visitation starts
here the court just wants a date so
visitation may or may not occur on that
particular date just make sure to fill
it in because a lot of people forget
about this blank space so I'm just going
to write this upcoming Saturday let's go
ahead with June 28th 2014
and John Doe is going to grant the
respondent visitation every weekend for
a given month so I'll check off all five
weeks first second third fourth and
fifth
for the day of the week let's just go
with Saturday so I'm going to put
Saturday
you can start the weekend on a Friday
also that's entirely up to you for the
sake of our example let's just put
Saturday 10 a.m. to Sunday 8:00 p.m. so
it's going to be 10 a.m. to Sunday and
it's 8 p.m.
now if you checked off the fifth weekend
of the month above note that you have
the option to choose either box A or B
for the sake of our example I will leave
these boxes blank and let's just say
that John Doe doesn't have a problem
giving Jane Dido visitation rights any
fifth weekend of a given month so let's
move on also I said earlier every
Tuesday from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. so let's
check off weekdays and it's important to
write the start date here
so let's write the upcoming Tuesday is
July 1st 2014 and we're giving the
respondent visitation rights and here
all right Tuesday from 3 p.m. to Tuesday
8:00
here
now try to stay in the grid and stick to
options one two and three but if you
feel you have a visitation plan that
cannot be fully satisfied by the first
three options checkbox number four other
and you will write your specific
schedule here in the blank space
underneath for the sake of our example
we will leave this part blank all right
so congratulations you have just filled
out the first page of the FL - 311 form
please proceed to the FL - 311 page -
