(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.

INFORMATION SHEET FOR ANSWER TO COMPLAINT
Please follow these instructions to complete the Answer to Complaint or Supplemental Complaint Regarding Parental Obligations (form FL-610) 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 Answer and attachments with the court clerk within 30 days of the date you received the Summons and Complaint (form FL-600). 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. If you cannot afford to pay the filing fee, contact the court clerk to obtain forms to apply for a waiver of court fees. Keep two copies of the filed Answer form and its attachments. Serve one copy on the local child support agency and keep the other copy for your records. (See Information Sheet for Service of Process, form FL-611.) Upon receipt of your filed Answer, the local child support agency will set a court hearing on this matter. INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING THE ANSWER FORM (TYPE OR PRINT FORM IN BLACK INK): Front page, first box, top of form, left side. Print your name, address, and telephone number in this box if they are not already there. 1. For each child listed on the Answer 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 are not sure whether you are that child's parent. You must write in the name of each child listed in the Summons and Complaint (form FL-600) if your Answer form does not include the names of any children. NOTE: Checking the "no" box does not satisfy the requirements needed to set aside any Voluntary Declaration of Paternity which you may have signed (Family Code Section 7575). If you have checked a "no" box in answer to number 1 above, you must request a genetic test to determine whether you or the other parent is the parent. (The test is usually a blood test.) 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. a. Check this box if you agree to pay the support asked for in the proposed Judgment Regarding Parental Obligations (form FL-630) that you received. b. You should check this box if you do not agree to pay the support asked for in the proposed Judgment Regarding Parental Obligations (form FL-630). 4. If you agree to pay the support asked for in the proposed Judgment Regarding Parental Obligations (form FL-630), but you disagree with the proposed judgment for another reason, you should check this box and write your reasons in this space. If you have documents that prove your reasons for disagreeing with the proposed Judgment, you should attach the documents to the Answer form. 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. If the court does not have your current address, you may not receive important notices that affect you.
