(SIGNATURE OF PERSON WHO SERVED RESPONSE)

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 object to the commissioner
acting as a temporary judge. The court commissioner may still hear your case to make findings and recommendations to a
judge. However, if you object to the commissioner acting as a temporary judge, an order will not be made until a judge
reviews your case.

INFORMATION SHEET FOR RESPONSE TO UNIFORM SUPPORT PETITION

(Do NOT deliver this Information Sheet to the court clerk.)

FL-520

Please follow these instructions to complete the Response to Uniform Support Petition (form FL-520) if you do not have
an attorney to represent you. Your attorney, if you have one, should complete this form.

You must file the completed response and attachments with the court clerk within 30 days of the date you received the
Uniform Support Petition (form OMB 0970-0085). The address of the court clerk is the same as the one shown for the
superior court on the summons. You may have to pay a filing fee. If you cannot afford to pay the filing fee, contact the
court clerk. Keep two copies of the filed response form and its attachments. Serve one copy on the petitioner or
petitioner's attorney and/or the local child support agency and keep the other copy for your records. (See
Information Sheet for Service of Process, form FL-611.)

INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING THE RESPONSE FORM (YOU CAN COMPLETE THE FORM ON A COMPUTER,
BY TYPING, OR BY PRINTING IN INK):

Front page, first box, top of form, left side: Print your name, address, and telephone number in this box if it is not
already there.

Item 1:

If you are responding to a question of paternity, check the “parentage” box.
a.

For each child listed on the response form, you must check the “yes” box if you agree that you are that child's
parent or check the “no” box if you do not think or you are not sure whether you are that child's parent. You
must write in the name of each child listed in the Uniform Support Petition if your response form does not
include the names of any children.

If you and the other parent have signed a voluntary declaration of paternity you should attach it to this form
and check this box.

Item 2:

If the local child support agency filed the Uniform Support Petition, the local child support agency will tell you
when and where to go for the genetic test. The local child support agency's office will pay for the cost of the test,
but if the court decides that you are the parent, you may have to repay this cost to the local child support agency.

Item 3:

Check this box if you agree to pay the support asked for in the Uniform Support Petition that you received.

If you disagree with the support asked for in the Uniform Support Petition, you should check this box. If you
have documents that prove your reasons for disagreeing with the request in the Uniform Support Petition, you
should attach documents to this form.

Item 4:

a. Check this box if you agree to the other orders requested in the Uniform Support Petition that you received.

b. If you disagree with the orders requested in the Uniform Support Petition, you should check this box.

Item 5:

Check this box if you want a court hearing. The petitioner or the local child support agency may also schedule a
hearing whether or not you have checked this box.

Item 6:

You must list your address and phone numbers where you can receive all notices and court dates. You must let
the court know whenever your address changes. You may not receive important notices that affect you if the court
does not have your current address.

You must date the response form, print your name, and sign the form under a penalty of perjury. When you sign the
response form, you are stating that the information you have provided is true and correct.

Instructions for how to complete the Proof of Service section of the response form are in the Information Sheet for Service
of Process (form FL-611). The person who serves the response and its attachments must fill out this section of the form.

You cannot serve your own response.

If you need assistance with this form, contact an attorney or the family law facilitator in your county. The family law
facilitator can give you free help with this form.

Identified Data Fields:

We have done our best to automaticly identify and name form fields according to our naming conventions. When possible, we've used names tied to our question library. See e.g., user1_name. If we think we've found a match to a question in our library, it is highlighted in green. Novel names are auto generated. So, you will probably need to edit some of them if you're trying to stick to the convention.

Here are the fields we could identify.
