  3. Help you learn ways to deal with anger or resentment.
Check out this video that explains the mediation and child custody recommending counseling court process, provides helpful information about parenting plans, and offers tips on how parents can reduce conflict and help their children adjust to the changes happening in their family.

How Childhood Trauma Affects Health Across a Lifetime - Dr. Nadine Burke Harris on:
Childhood trauma isn’t something you just get over as you grow up. Pediatrician Nadine Burke Harris explains that the repeated stress of abuse, neglect and parents struggling with mental health or substance abuse issues has real, tangible effects on the development of the brain. This unfolds across a lifetime, to the point where those who’ve experienced high levels of trauma are at triple the risk for heart disease and lung cancer. An impassioned plea for pediatric medicine to confront the prevention and treatment of trauma, head-on. TEDTalks is a daily video podcast of the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world's leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes (or less). Look for talks on Technology, Entertainment and Design -- plus science, business, global issues, the arts and much more.

Divorce Filings in California (Step 3 - Financial Disclosures)
Vertical Divider
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.

Video player: California Superior Court (FL-140)

null

Schedule of Assets and Debts (Form FL-142)
See the video instructions below for this form.

Video player: California Superior Court (FL-142)

null

Income and Expense Declaration (Form FL-150)
See the video instructions below for this form.

Video player: California Superior Court (FL-150)

null

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.
Disclosure: The use of these documents is not a substitute for consulting with an experienced attorney and receiving advice based on your particular facts and circumstances. Attorneys who have contributed Forms do not make any warranties about the Forms provided, and your use of a Form does not create an Attorney-Client relationship with them. By downloading Forms, you agree that the Forms may only be used for your personal use and may not be sold, licensed or redistributed without our prior written consent. No claim is made to any public domain or government material.  Because of the quick pace of changes in law, some of the information in these Forms may become outdated.
