FL-105 (UCCJEA) — custody jurisdiction declaration

When a California case involves minor children, FL-105 tells the court where the children have lived so it can confirm it has authority to decide custody. We prepare it from your dates and addresses, at your direction.

Cases that need FL-105

Where the UCCJEA declaration is filed

FL-105 attaches to any California case that decides custody or visitation. Tap a tile to see what each is for.

Form names, numbers, and requirements shown here are general information from official government sources (USCIS, EOIR, California Courts, CA Secretary of State, IRS), provided for informational purposes only — not legal advice. You choose the forms; Imverica prepares them at your direction.

Form FL-105 is the Declaration Under the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act (UCCJEA). It lists every place each child has lived for the past five years and any other custody cases, so a California court can confirm it is the proper state to decide custody and avoid conflicting orders from different states.

When FL-105 is required

  • Any divorce, parentage, guardianship, or domestic-violence case that asks the court to decide custody or visitation of a minor child.
  • It is filed at the start of the case and updated if the children’s residence history changes.

What we prepare

  • FL-105 / GC-120 completed from the residence history and case information you provide.
  • Attachment pages when a child has lived at several addresses.
