Package 8 · For spouses who need to prepare and exchange their financial disclosure forms

Prepare Your Financial Disclosures

California law requires both spouses to exchange financial disclosure forms — listing assets, debts, income, and expenses — early in the divorce process. This package helps you prepare those forms accurately and on time.

This package covers Stage 2 — and can be filed alongside Stage 1 or after.

1

File the Petition

Officially open your divorce case with the court.

2

Financial Disclosures

Exchange required financial forms with your spouse.

3

Build the Judgment

Prepare the final judgment paperwork for the court.

Comes after

4

Divorce Finalized

The court enters your judgment and your divorce is complete.

Comes after

Financial disclosures can be filed alongside your petition (Stage 1) or after — this package works either way.

What this package covers

  • Guided interview for preparing your Preliminary Declaration of Disclosure (the required financial exchange between spouses)
  • Declaration of Disclosure — the cover form that accompanies your disclosure package
  • Schedule of Assets and Debts — a full list of everything you own and owe
  • Income & Expense Declaration — a snapshot of your monthly income, expenses, and financial obligations
  • Declaration Regarding Service of Declaration of Disclosure — confirms that disclosures were exchanged
  • Plain-English guidance on what to include and how to fill out each form
  • Ability to save progress and return at any time
  • Downloadable forms ready for exchange with your spouse

Timing matters. California law requires that preliminary financial disclosures be served within 60 days of filing the petition (if you filed), within 60 days of filing your response (if you're the responding spouse), or within 60 days of filing a joint petition.

If you haven't filed yet, you cannot serve your disclosures until after filing. This package works for any case type — uncontested, default, or contested — but you'll want to start as soon as your case is opened.

Is this package right for you?

This may be a good fit if:

  • You are legally married (not in a domestic partnership)
  • Neither of you is currently represented by an attorney
  • Both of you are aware of and willing to cooperate with the UDIL process
  • You understand that court filing fees are not included
  • You understand that QDRO (retirement account division) preparation is not included

This may not be the right fit if:

  • Note: While dissolutions of domestic partnerships use similar forms and processes to divorces, our software is currently built to accommodate marriage dissolutions only.
  • Either spouse is represented by an attorney
