California financial forms for family court

Filed with the court, or given to the other side?

FL-150 or FL-155 is filed and served with a support request or response. The disclosures (FL-140 and its attachments) are served, not filed. Of those, only FL-141 is filed.

What it uses
Statewide Judicial Council forms split by issue: FL-150 (or simplified FL-155) for income and expenses in support and fee matters, and FL-142 or FL-160 for assets and debts, the two served together in the Declaration of Disclosure (FL-140).
Which form, when
FL-150 for any support hearing (Cal. Rules of Court, rule 5.260(a)); FL-155 may be used instead only for child support by a party who seeks no spousal support or fees, is not self-employed and has only listed income types (FL-155 p.2; rule 5.260(a)). Property: FL-142 or FL-160, either one (FL-140 item 1; Fam. Code 2104).
Filed or exchanged
FL-150/FL-155 are filed and served with a Request for Order or responsive declaration on support (rule 5.260(a)); the preliminary and final disclosures (FL-140 with FL-150 and FL-142/FL-160) are served, not filed ('DO NOT FILE DECLARATIONS OF DISCLOSURE OR FINANCIAL ATTACHMENTS WITH THE COURT'), and only FL-141 is filed.
