First, complete your "Preliminary Declaration of Disclosure."
There's no specific deadline by which you are to complete and serve your "Preliminary Declaration of Disclosure". However, it's helpful to do it soon after starting the case so you have the information you need to decide how to divide your assets and debts and to restructure your life. NOTE: The Preliminary Declaration of Disclosure is NOT filed with the court. Instead,each of you serves the other with a copy of your disclosure forms. 1.Fill out the Preliminary Disclosure forms: Declaration of Disclosure (Form FL-140) See the video instructions below for this form. Disclosure of investment opportunities since you separated, if any. (Write these out on a clean sheet of paper. There's no form for this.)
2. Attach your tax returns. Your disclosure documents must include all tax returns you filed in the last 2 years. 3. Preparing the Packet. Email me the drafts documents and I will prepare the Preliminary Disclosure Packet and return to you for review, approval and signatures. 4. Service of Documents. I will serve a copy of your disclosure forms on your spouse or domestic partner 5. Filing. Only file the original and one copy of the Declaration Regarding Service of Declaration of Disclosure (FL-141) and Income and Expense Declaration (FL-150) with the Court (if applicable). The other forms are not to be filed with the Court. I will file these document on your behalf. |
Exchange Information
"Disclosure" of What You Own and Owe California law requires that you and your spouse or partner give each other written information about what you own and what you owe. This is called "disclosure" – meaning the act of disclosing; revealing; making something known to the other person. Disclosure is intended to make sure that you and your spouse or partner are aware of everything each of you own and owe. With this information you can divide your property and debts equally, and can make reasonable decisions about child and spousal or partner support. If you leave anything out, either by mistake or on purpose, your property division may not be accepted by the court, and your case may be reopened or changed. NOTE: Both you and your spouse or partner are responsible for making sure that the financial information you give each other is current. Therefore, if changes occur or you get new information about what is owned or owed, you need to fill out and serve new Preliminary Declaration of Disclosure forms. This rule applies until your property is actually distributed by agreement or court order. |
