MC-500-INFO Rev. 10/6/16
The Clerk of the Court cannot accept for filing any papers that do
not comply with California Rules of Court 2.100 et seq. (CRC 2.118)
To avoid having your papers rejected by the clerk:
Use Judicial Council forms whenever possible
If you print Judicial Council forms from your computer, print them out single-
sided. (Don’t print double-sided unless you know how to tumble the pages).
Judicial Council forms can be found at http://www.courts.ca.gov/forms.htm.
If the form you need is not on the Judicial Council website, you will have to make
your own form which follows these rules
1. White or unbleached paper – 8 1/2 by 11 inches
2. One-sided paper only one side of each page may be used
3. 12 pt font (Courier, Times New Roman, Arial or equivalent (Handwritten
papers are OK but write legibly)
4. Line spacing - One and one-half or double-spaced (use pleading paper
either the Judicial Council form MC-20 or create your own using the legal
template in your word processor)
5. Margins – at least 1 inch from the left edge and ½ inch from right edge
6. Page Numbers pages must be numbered consecutively on the bottom
(1, 2, 3 …)
7. Binding Original and copies must be firmly bound (e.g. stapled) AND the
Original must be 2-hole punched at the top.
You will need the Original document, signed in ink (blue is best), and correct
number of identical copies (original for the Court, a copy for each party) for
the clerk to file.
The Rules are importantRemember - You want the Judge to
understand what you have written. Don’t make that impossible
by submitting papers that are too hard to read because they
are upside down, the print is too small or too light, or the
pages have fallen out of the file because they are too
small or too large and/or not properly fastened.

IMPORTANT NOTICES
The earliest you can be divorced is six months and one day from one of these three dates (whichever occurs first):
(1) the date Respondent was served with the Summons (form FL-110) and Petition (form FL-100), (2) the date the
Response (form FL-120) was filed, or (3) the date Appearance, Stipulations, and Waivers (form FL-130) was filed.
Legal separation has no waiting period. You are NOT divorced or legally separated until the court enters a Judgment in
your case.
If you need court orders for child support, custody, parenting time (visitation), spousal or partner support, restraining
orders, or other issues, file a Request for Order (form FL-300) asking for temporary orders. See “Request for Order
Information” at courts.ca.gov/divorcerequests for more information.
JJ
STEP 1. Start Your Case
z
The forms needed to start your case and information about filing fees and fee waivers are available at “Filing Your Case,” at
courts.ca.gov/filing.
z
z
The petitioner (the person who files the first divorce or legal separation forms with the court) fills out and files with the court
clerk at least a Petition—Marriage/Domestic Partnership (form FL-100) and a Summons (form FL-110) and, if there are
children of the relationship, a Declaration Under Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act (form FL-105).
The court clerk will stamp and return copies of the filed forms to the petitioner.
The respondent has 30 days to file and serve a Response. So, the petitioner must wait 30 days before starting Step 4.
Someone 18 or older–not the petitioner–serves the spouse or domestic partner (called the respondent) with all the forms from
Step 1 plus a blank Response—Marriage/Domestic Partnership (form FL-120) and files with the court a proof-of-service form,
such as Proof of Service of Summons (form FL-115), telling when and how the respondent was served. (To serve means “to give
in the proper legal way.”) For more information, see “Serving Your First Set of Court Forms” at courts.ca.gov/filing.

STEP 2. Serve the Forms

Respondent files a Response
Respondent does not file a Response (called “default”)
No Response and NO
written agreement:
Petitioner waits 30 days after
Step 2 is complete and
prepares a proposed Judgment
(form FL-180), together with
all other needed forms. See
“True Default Case” at courts.
ca.gov/truedefault.
No Response BUT written
agreement: Petitioner attaches
the signed and notarized
agreement to the proposed
Judgment (form FL-180),
together with all other needed
forms. See “Default Case with
Written Agreement” at courts.
ca.gov/defaultagree.
Response AND written
agreement: Either party files
Appearance, Stipulations, and
Waivers (form FL-130) and the
proposed Judgment with
written agreement attached and
other needed forms. See
“Uncontested Case” at courts.
ca.gov/uncontested.
Response and NO
agreement: Parties must
go to trial to have a judge
resolve the issues. See
“Contested Case” at
courts.ca.gov/contested.
STEP 4. Finish the Divorce or Legal Separation Case in One of Four Ways
You must keep the court and the other party informed of any change in your mailing address or other contact
information. File and serve a Notice of Change of Address or Other Contact Information (form MC-040) on the other
party or his or her attorney to let them know about the change in your contact information.
At the same time as Step 1 or within 60 days of filing the Petition, the petitioner must fill out and have these documents served
on the respondent: Declaration of Disclosure (form FL-140), Income and Expense Declaration (form FL-150), Schedule of
Assets and Debts (form FL-142) or Property Declaration (form FL-160), and all tax returns filed by the party in the two years
before serving the disclosure documents. These disclosure documents are not filed with the court.
z
If the respondent files a Response, he or she must also complete and serve the same disclosure documents on the petitioner
within 60 da
y
s of filin
g
the Response.
z
z
The 60-day time frame for serving the disclosures may be changed by written agreement between the parties or by court order.
The petitioner and respondent each file a Declaration Regarding Service (form FL-141) with the court saying disclosures
were served. If the respondent does not serve disclosures, the petitioner can still finish the case without them. For more
information, see “Fill Out and Serve Your Financial Declaration of Disclosure Forms” at courts.ca.gov/filing (click on Step 4).

Legal Steps for a Divorce or Legal Separation
You may prefer to resolve some or all of the issues in your divorce or legal separation case without having the court
decide for you. You and your spouse or domestic partner can put your agreement in writing and file it in your case. But
your agreement must follow all legal requirements.
Getting help to resolve divorce or legal separation cases
Do you have a registered domestic partnership? The process for a divorce or legal separation of a domestic
partnership is the same as on page 1. For information about ending your domestic partnership in the superior court, see
courts.ca.gov/filing. To find out if you are eligible to end your domestic partnership through the Secretary of State, see
courts.ca.gov/summdissodp. Note: There may be differences in federal taxes and other issues for domestic
partnerships. Seek advice from an attorney experienced in domestic partner law.
What if you want a legal separation? The process on page 1 is the same, except you will NOT get a Judgment
for legal separation unless both parties agree to a legal separation OR if respondent has not filed a Response. If both
parties agree to be legally separated but do not agree on other issues, the parties must go to trial to have a judge resolve
those issues. You are NOT legally separated until you receive a Judgment signed by the court. For more information, see
“Legal Separation” at
courts.ca.gov/legalseparation. AFTER the court enters a judgment for legal separation, if you
decide you want a divorce, you must start a new case to request a divorce and pay another filing fee.
Legal Steps for a Divorce or Legal Separation
FL-107-INFO
Family Law Facilitators and Self-Help Centers
help with court forms and instructions. They can
provide samples of agreements and other
information and, in some cases, help with mediation.
This information sheet gives you only basic information on
the divorce or legal separation and is not legal advice. If you
want legal advice, ask a lawyer for help. You may also:
Contact the family law facilitator or self-help center in
your court for information, court forms, and referrals to
local legal resources. For more information, see
courts.ca.gov/courtresources.
What if there is domestic violence?
Private services (which you can hire
to help you resolve your case):
Where can I get help?
Lawyers. Also called attorneys, lawyers can help
work out agreements between the parties and
represent you at court hearings and trials.
Mediators. A lawyer or counselor who helps the
parties communicate to explore options and reach a
mutually acceptable resolution.
Collaborative Lawyers. Lawyers who represent
each party but do not go to court. They try to reach
an agreement. If court is necessary, the parties must
hire new lawyers.
Settlement Conferences. An informal process in
which a judge or an experienced lawyer meets with
the parties and their lawyers to discuss the case and
their positions and suggests a resolution. The parties
can either agree to the suggestions or use the
suggestions to help in further settlement discussions.
Family Court Services. If you and the other parent
already have a family law case and have filed a
Request for Order (form FL-300) seeking orders
about child custody and visitation (parenting time),
the court will refer you to Family Court Services.
They provide child custody mediation or child
custody recommending counseling to try to help you
both make a parenting plan that is in the best interest
of your child. Note: They cannot help with financial
issues.

The “FLARe” Program
(Family Law Alternative Resolution)
FLARe is a voluntary mediation program that is designed to be less expensive, less stressful, and less time
consuming than traditional litigation. The program is staffed by trained family law attorney mediators who will
meet with parties to assist them in settling their family law cases amicably and early. The use of this program is
voluntary and must be agreed to by both parties.
MEDIATION IS APPROPRIATE AT ANY TIME DURING THE LITIGATION
PROCESS
Mediation is useful at any point in litigation and is not binding unless an agreement is reached and an Order is
signed by the Judge. Either party may consult another attorney from the mediation panel or other private attorney
before any agreements are finalized. Either the mediator or your lawyer can help you finalize orders.
MEDIATION IS CONDUCTED BY A TRAINED NEUTRAL PARTY
WHO MEETS WITH THE PARTIES TOGETHER AND:
May facilitate the settlement of a single issue or an entire case
Helps parties learn to cooperate
Allows parties to make informed decisions
Is private and confidential
Does not require court appearances
SERVICE OPTIONS AND COST:
There are 3 options for mediation services, OPTION A) Joint Mediation Session for 90 minutes for $150.00;
OPTION B) Joint Mediation Orientation for 30 minutes for $35.00; and OPTION C) Individual Pre-Mediation
Consultation for 30 minutes for $35.00. SEE REVERSE SIDE FOR SERVICE PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONS.
To schedule an appointment, call the Contra Costa County Bar Association
LAWYER REFERRAL & INFORMATION SERVICE
(925) 825-5700
The Court strongly recommends the use of mediation. However the Court does not endorse the skills of any
particular mediator or guarantee the results in any particular case. Results depend on the cooperation of the parties.
Both parties are encouraged to enter the program with good faith settlement intentions.
Voluntary mediation with an attorney is not a substitute for mandatory custody mediation with Family
Court Services required by current law where custody remains in dispute. However, if a settlement
regarding custody is reached, the mediation at Family Court Services may not be necessary.
VOLUNTARY MEDIATION IS NOT RECOMMENDED
IN CASES INVOLVING DOMESTIC VIOLENCE.

as well as any credit cards, other credit accounts, insurance polices, retirement plans, and credit reports, to determine whether they
should be changed or whether you should take any other actions. Some changes may require the agreement of your partner or

WARNING—IMPORTANT INFORMATION
ADVERTENCIA—IMFORMACIÓN IMPORTANTE
De acuerdo a la ley de California, las propiedades adquiridas
por las partes durante su matrimonio o pareja de hecho en
forma conjunta se consideran propiedad comunitaria para
fines de la división de bienes que ocurre cuando se produce
una disolución o separación legal del matrimonio o pareja de
hecho. Si cualquiera de las partes de este caso llega a
fallecer antes de que se divida la propiedad comunitaria de
tenencia conjunta, el destino de la misma quedará
determinado por las cláusulas de la escritura
correspondiente que describen su tenencia (por ej., tenencia
conjunta, tenencia en común o propiedad comunitaria) y no
por la presunción de propiedad comunitaria. Si quiere que la
presunción comunitaria quede registrada en la escritura de
la propiedad, debería consultar con un abogado.
AVISO—ACCESO A SEGURO DE SALUD MÁS ECONÓMICO:
¿Necesita seguro de salud a un costo asequible, ya sea para usted
o alguien en su hogar? Si es así, puede presentar una solicitud con
Covered California. Covered California lo puede ayudar a reducir el
costo que paga por seguro de salud asequible y de alta calidad.
Para obtener más información, visite www.coveredca.com. O llame
a Covered California al 1-800-300-0213.
NOTICE—ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE HEALTH
INSURANCE: Do you or someone in your household need
affordable health insurance? If so, you should apply for
Covered California. Covered California can help reduce the
cost you pay towards high quality affordable health care. For
more information, visit www.coveredca.com. Or call Covered
California at 1-800-300-1506.
California law provides that, for purposes of division of
property upon dissolution of a marriage or domestic
partnership or upon legal separation, property acquired
by the parties during marriage or domestic partnership in
joint form is presumed to be community property. If either
party to this action should die before the jointly held
community property is divided, the language in the deed
that characterizes how title is held (i.e., joint tenancy,
tenants in common, or community property) will be
controlling, and not the community property
presumption. You should consult your attorney if you
want the community property presumption to be written
into the recorded title to the property.

SERVING THE OTHER PARTY
AND FILING PROOF OF SERVICE OF SUMMONS
WHO: Who do I have to have served?
The Respondent in your case. If your case has other parties in it, they will
also need to be served.
Who does the service?
You cannot serve your own papers. Someone 18 years old or older and who
is not a party to the case must serve the Respondent. That person must hand
the documents to the Respondent personally.
If you have a fee waiver, the Sheriff will serve your papers for you. (Civil
Division, 920 Mellus Street, Martinez, CA, 8 am - 4 pm)
You can also hire a professional process server to do the service. You can
find professional process servers in the Yellow Pages of your phone book or
by searching the Internet.
WHAT: What papers do I have served on the other party to the case?
ALL of the papers you filed with the Court, and blank responsive documents
such as:
Petition (FL-100) (completed)
Summons (FL-110) (completed)
Response (FL-120) (blank)
Declaration Under UCCJEA (FL-105) (completed)
Declaration Under UCCJEA (FL-105) (blank)
Declaration of Disclosure, (if you have completed the following
documents at the time you serve the Summons and Petition.) This
consists of: completed and blank Declaration of Disclosure
(FL-140), Schedule of Assets and Debts (FL-142), Income and
Expense Declaration (FL-150).
If you file a Request for Order(s) at the same time you file your Summons and
Petition, you will need to serve a filed copy of those papers and a blank
Responsive Declaration on the Respondent.

Have the person who served the Respondent complete and sign the
Proof of Service of Summons (FL-115).

WHEN: When do I have to have the other party served?
If you filed a Request for Order with the Summons and Petition, at
least 16 court days before the hearing or as otherwise stated on
your Court papers.
If you did not file a Request for Order with the Summons and
Petition, as soon as possible.
WHERE: Where do I get a Proof of Service?
Contra Costa County Public Law Library, AF Bray Building, 1020 Ward
Street, 1st Floor, Martinez, or online at www.cc-courts.org/forms.
WHY: Why do I have to have the other party served?
Nothing else may happen in your case if you do not file a Proof of Service.
For instance, you can’t take the other party’s default until you have filed the
Proof of Service of Summons.
If you filed a Request for Order when you filed the Petition and Summons
and the other party is not served, or is not served on time, the Judge may
not hear your case on the date set and may postpone your case until the
other party is properly served.

NOTICE—CANCELLATION OF RIGHTS: Dissolution or legal separation may automatically cancel the rights of a domestic partner
or spouse under the other domestic partner's or spouse's will, trust, retirement plan, power of attorney, pay-on-death bank account,
survivorship rights to any property owned in joint tenancy, and any other similar thing. It does not automatically cancel the right of a
domestic partner or spouse as beneficiary of the other partner's or spouse's life insurance policy. You should review these matters,
as well as any credit cards, other credit accounts, insurance polices, retirement plans, and credit reports, to determine whether they
should be changed or whether you should take any other actions. Some changes may require the agreement of your partner or
spouse or a court order.
NOTICE: You may redact (black out) social security numbers from any written material filed with the court in this case other than a
form used to collect child, spousal or partner support.
The original response must be filed in the court with proof of service of a copy on Petitioner.

In a dissolution, legal separation, or nullity action, both a preliminary and a final declaration of disclosure must be served on the other
party with certain exceptions. Neither disclosure is filed with the court. Instead, a declaration stating that service of disclosure
documents was completed or waived must be filed with the court (see form FL-141).
The petitioner must serve a preliminary declaration of disclosure at the same time as the Petition or within 60 days of filing the Petition.
The respondent must serve a preliminary declaration of disclosure at the same time as the Response or within 60 days of filing the
Response. The time periods may be extended by written agreement of the parties or by court order (see Family Code section 2104(f)).
In summary dissolution cases, each spouse or domestic partner must exchange preliminary disclosures as described in Summary
Dissolution Information (form FL-810). Final disclosures are not required (see Family Code section 2109).
Parties who agree to waive final declarations of disclosure must file their written agreement with the court (see form FL-144).
Service of preliminary declarations of disclosure may not be waived by an agreement between the parties.
In a default judgment case that is not a stipulated judgment or a judgment based on a marital settlement agreement, only the
petitioner is required to complete and serve a preliminary declaration of disclosure. A final disclosure is not required of either party
(see Family Code section 2110).
