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.

Here are some general rules about property. However, there could be
exceptions based upon agreements between spouses, the conduct of spouses,
and the types of debt acquired (like student loans and necessaries of life)
Before Marriage It is your separate property.
During Marriage It is community property. This includes retirement
accounts and pensions. (exception for gifts or inheritance)
After You Separate It is your separate property, unless the money to
purchase came from your earnings during marriage. (You might be responsible
for spouse’s debts for the necessaries of life, too.)
Unless the parties agree otherwise, community property is to be
split evenly.
Failure to disclose your assets could result in a loss of valuable
property rights. If you hide an asset, the judge can award 100% of
it to your spouse, even if it is community property.
☆☆MANDATORY FINANCIAL DISCLOSURES OF PROPERTY/DEBT☆☆
Step #1: Disclosure to Spouse Even if you have no property, you must still fill out
the forms and serve on your spouse. Family Code Section 2104 requires that this
disclosure include the identity of all property owned by the party plus all debts,
regardless of whether the property/debts would be labeled community property or
separate property. This packet contains the forms needed to comply with this law.
Step #2: File Papers With Court (with Petition or no later than 60 days)
Declaration of Disclosure (FL-140) – NEVER filed with the clerk.
P

Response to Dissolution of Marriage, Community Property declaration, Separate Property declaration,
Declaration of Disclosure, and Income and Expense Declaration.
Follow these simple steps in order to successfully proceed with your case.
Review
After you have completed your forms, bring them back to the Resource Center to have them
reviewed. It is important to follow this step because our staff has been trained to review these
forms and help you make any necessary changes.
Copy
After you have had your forms reviewed you will need to make (2) copies of your corrected
originals.
Serve
You will need to have the other party served with a copy of your documents before you can file
with the court clerk. The proper way to perform the service is to have another adult (not you)
mail one copy of your documents to your spouse. If you need assistance with this step you can
visit your local Resource Center. The person that served the documents will need to complete
and sign the Proof of Service form. After the other party is served you will be ready to file.
File
Take the original paperwork, your copy, and the completed proof of service form to the clerk’s
office within the court listed in your paperwork to file. You will also need to bring your request
for fee waiver forms or cash/check/credit card.
Final step. . .
Filing your
response paperwork does not complete your divorce case. There are two ways to
finalize a divorce case. If both parties can reach an agreement with all
of the issues within the
divorce case (for example: property, debts, child custody, support), then you can consider
completing a stipulated judgment. The requirements for a stipulated judgment are that both
parties sign the judgment and agree on all issues. If you are interested in more information on a
stipulated judgment you can visit your local Resource Center for assistance and forms.
The other o
ption to finalize your divorce is to go to trial. In order to set the case for trial you will
need to file an “At Issue Memorandum” with the court. Either party can file an At Issue
Memorandum with the court to continue the process. If you need additional information on the
At Issue Memorandum, you can visit your local Resource Center for assistance and forms or visit
the self-help website for a form kit.
Please remember that in California the minimum time for a divorce to be final is 6 months from
the date that the Respondent is served with the summons and complaint. Even though the
minimum time for a divorce is 6 months, depending on your case the process may take longer.
Ultimately, you are divorced when you receive a divorce judgment signed by a judge and
it has
been at least 6 months since the date in which the Respondent was served.
