Divorce papers questions
What is the very first divorce paper I need to file in California?+
Form FL-100, Petition, Marriage/Domestic Partnership, is the document that officially starts your case. It's filed together with form FL-110, Summons, which notifies your spouse and puts automatic temporary restraining orders on both spouses' finances and the children, if any.
What divorce papers does the responding spouse file?+
The Respondent files form FL-120, Response, Marriage/Domestic Partnership, within 30 days of being served. If there are minor children, FL-105 (Declaration Under UCCJEA) is also required from whichever spouse hasn't already filed it.
What financial disclosure papers are required?+
Both spouses must complete FL-140 (Declaration of Disclosure), FL-150 (Income and Expense Declaration), and FL-142 (Schedule of Assets and Debts) or FL-160 (Property Declaration). These are required in every California divorce, contested or uncontested.
What paper finalizes a California divorce?+
Form FL-180, Judgment, is what the judge signs to finalize your case, along with FL-190, Notice of Entry of Judgment, which notifies both spouses once it's officially entered. These can only be submitted after the mandatory 6-month waiting period has passed.
Does Virdix give me blank forms or completed ones?+
Virdix fills out the official California Judicial Council forms based on your answers to a guided interview. You review everything before it's finalized, so you're not staring at a blank PDF trying to figure out what goes in each field. Virdix is not a law firm and does not give legal advice about what to put in a field beyond your own facts.
Divorce papers by stage of your case
Each guide below walks through that specific form, field by field. Virdix itself works the way tax software works: answer plain-English questions, get finished, court-ready forms.
