What is FL-341(D)?
Additional Provisions—Physical Custody Attachment (FL-341(D)) is a two-page Judicial Council of California form that lists optional physical custody provisions, which parties can agree to, request from the court, or use to record a court's orders on additional custody issues.
The form is an attachment. It does not start a case or ask for custody on its own. At the top you check which document it is attached to: a Petition, Response, Request for Order, Responsive Declaration to Request for Order, Stipulation and Order for Custody and/or Visitation of Children, Findings and Order After Hearing or Judgment, Custody Order—Juvenile—Final Judgment, or Other. You also say which parties the provisions apply to: Petitioner, Respondent or Other Parent/Party.
The provisions run from item 1 to item 17. They cover:
- notice of changes in address and phone numbers, and of a planned move of the children;
- child care, including a right of first option;
- canceled visitation (parenting time) and phone contact;
- no negative comments, no discussion of court proceedings with the children, and no use of the children as messengers;
- alcohol or substance use, secondhand smoke, third-party contact, clothing, a log book, and how the terms may be changed.
The form is marked "Form Approved for Optional Use" and cites Family Code, §§ 3003, 3024, 3083. The Judicial Council's self-help site describes it as an attachment to many forms.
Who needs to file FL-341(D)?
Parents and other parties in a California child custody or visitation matter use FL-341(D) when they want additional physical custody provisions in their agreement, request or order. The Judicial Council's self-help page says parents can use it to make agreements, or request court orders, about other custody matters that are in the child's best interest. It can also be used to state the family or juvenile court's orders on additional custody issues.
The form lets you pick who is bound. You check Petitioner, Respondent, Other Parent/Party, or a combination, at the top and again in items 1 and 10 where a specific party is named.
Some items apply only in certain cases:
- Item 1: a party with an address in the State of California's Safe at Home confidential address program does not need to give a residence or work address.
- Items 3 to 15 apply to the children generally, and you fill in numbers or names only where the item asks you to specify them.
The form is approved for optional use, so a court is not required to receive these provisions on this particular form. The form names no one who is excluded from using it.
When to file FL-341(D)
FL-341(D) has no filing date of its own. It is completed and submitted at the moment you prepare the document it attaches to, such as a Petition, Response, Request for Order or Stipulation and Order for Custody and/or Visitation of Children, so its timing follows that document. Once the provisions are in an order, item 16 says they can later be added to or changed as the needs of the children and parties change. Such changes must be in writing, dated and signed by the parties, and each party keeps a copy. If the parties want a change to be a court order, it must be filed with the court in the form of a court document.

How to submit FL-341(D)
FL-341(D) is submitted as an attachment to the form or order you checked at the top, so it travels through whatever channel that document uses. The form prints no mailing address, portal or appointment rule of its own.
- With a court filing: attach the completed pages to the Petition, Response, Request for Order, Responsive Declaration to Request for Order or other listed document, and file them together as that document requires.
- With a stipulation or order: attach it to the Stipulation and Order for Custody and/or Visitation of Children, or to the Findings and Order After Hearing or Judgment, so the provisions become part of that order.
- Later changes: a written, dated and signed change between the parties becomes a court order only if it is filed with the court as a court document (item 16).
For your protection and privacy, the form tells you to press the Clear This Form button after you have printed it. FillingPDF lets you fill out and download the PDF; submission follows the channels above.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Leaving the case number and party names off page 2; both pages carry the PETITIONER, RESPONDENT, OTHER PARENT/PARTY and CASE NUMBER header.
- Not checking which document the form is attached to, such as a Request for Order or a Stipulation and Order for Custody and/or Visitation of Children.
- Not checking which parties the provisions apply to (Petitioner, Respondent, Other Parent/Party), so it is unclear who is bound.
- Leaving a blank where the item says (specify number), such as the days in item 1 or 2, the hours in items 4 and 10, or the minutes in item 5a.
- Requiring a residence or work address from a party who has an address with the State of California's Safe at Home confidential address program; item 1 says none is needed.
- Planning a change of the children's residence without giving the notice in item 2, which must state the planned address, county and state to the extent known and be sent by certified mail, return receipt requested.
- Treating a written change under item 16 as a court order; it becomes one only if it is filed with the court as a court document.
- Leaving the completed form on a shared computer without pressing Clear This Form after printing, as the form advises for privacy.
