Tips for filling out form FL-310

When completing form FL-310, pay special attention to these less obvious sections:

Item 1

Requester Identification

Ensure you correctly identify the person asking to reschedule the hearing. This should be the name of the party who originally requested the change, not necessarily the person completing the form.
Item 2

Current Hearing Date

Double-check the current hearing date listed as this will verify the date you are responding to for rescheduling. Ensure consistency with any official notices you’ve received.
Item 3

Temporary Orders Impact

Consider whether any temporary emergency orders are in place. If the request to reschedule affects these, check the appropriate box and be prepared to clarify.
Item 4

Consent Reasoning

If you do not consent, clearly specify your reasons. This is your opportunity to voice any concern or conflict the rescheduling may present, so be precise and concise in your explanation.

What to do after filing form FL-310

1
Confirm receipt of your FL-310 form filing with the court clerk and obtain a stamped copy for your records.
2
Wait for a response from the court regarding the rescheduling request. This may come as a notice of new hearing date or further instructions.
3
Monitor for any communication from the opposing party, as they may also file a response that could be relevant to the scheduling of the hearing.
4
Prepare for the possibility that the court may require additional documentation or a follow-up hearing, depending on the nature of the rescheduling request and the initial response about temporary emergency orders, if any.
5
Check the court's online case access system regularly, if available, for updates on your court case status and any changes to the hearing schedule.
