Q: I am trying to file an uncontested judgement and it came back incomplete because section 6d on FL-170 was not filled out
The request to enter default was granted. What is section 6d on FL-170 that is required? It says it's incomplete
A: 6d is the child custody and visitation section. There must be a minor child in your case that the court needs to set custody and visitation for. If the other parent didn't respond to the case, then whatever custody and visitation you specified in your petition will be ordered, but you need to give some rationale as to why that custody/visitation arrangement is fair, ensures frequent and continuous contact with the other parent, is in the best interest of the child, etc.
