Ready to start your paperwork? These are the forms that you will use to respond to a divorce case with no children. If you do have minor children from this marriage then this is the wrong set of forms for you. Please refer back to the website or visit your local Resource Center for more information and forms.

Help Note
In a dissolution of marriage (or divorce) or domestic partnership you will be legally recognized as divorced and/or no longer domestic partners once you have a final judgment. In a legal separation issues such as property, debt, and child custody and visitation can be resolved. But in a legal separation case you would still be legally married and/or joined as domestic partners once you have a final judgment. If you qualify for a nullity of marriage, after you receive a final judgment it will appear as though you were never married. Remember the length of marriage is NOT a legal basis for the court to grant a nullity of marriage.

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.

Page 4: FL-120 Help... · If you qualify for a nullity of marriage, after you receive a final judgment it will appear as \ though you were never married. Remember the length of marriage is

We recommend that you seek legal advice regarding the division of your property, especially retirement 

accounts.  To find a lawyer, contact the Lawyer Referral Services from the San Bernardino County Bar 

Association www.sbcba.org  or Western San Bernardino County Bar Association www.wsbcba.org  

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. Property Declaration (FL-160) – ONLY FILED WHEN you use the form to list

out your property rather than write it on the Petition Question #5. Income & Expense Declaration (FL-150) – ALWAYS filed with the clerk. Declaration Regarding Service of Declaration of Disclosure and Income &

Expense Declaration (FL-141) - ALWAYS filed with the clerk.

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 option 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.
