Declaration for Default or Uncontested Judgment (Uniform Parentage—Custody and Support)

Judicial Council of California · Family Law

Verified current as of August 1, 2026

This form allows a parent to ask a court to make a decision about custody and child support without needing a trial, based on written statements instead of a court hearing. Parents use this form when both sides agree on the arrangement or when one parent doesn't respond to the case, so the court can finalize custody and support orders quickly.
