Emergency filing — Step 4 of 6

Request for Order — FL-300

The FL-300 is the core filing document. It tells the court what orders you are requesting and why they are needed on an emergency basis. Everything you write here feeds directly into the packet.

What FL-300 does

This form opens the case and states the relief you need.

The FL-300 (Request for Order) is the initiating document for emergency child custody, visitation, support, or protective relief. It tells the judge specifically what orders you need, who is at risk, and why the situation cannot wait for a standard hearing.

Write in plain, factual terms. Judges read hundreds of these — clear and specific beats long and emotional.
