FL-120: Response—Marriage/Domestic Partnership in a California property case

Where it fits in the property workflow

The response preserves or disputes high-level property positions; detailed accounts, values and claims still belong in the disclosure workflow.

Always open the official California Courts page before use. It provides the current revision, current download and any translations or instructions; this guide intentionally does not host a copy that can become stale.

Prepare before touching the form

• Compare the petition and response property requests
• Identify property issues pleaded as unknown or reserved
• Build the respondent’s independent disclosure inventory

The handoff to the next document

Record what form FL-120 proves, what it merely reports, and the source documents behind its financial statements. The same asset, debt, date and amount should not acquire a new identity simply because it crosses from an intake schedule to a pleading, proof, attachment or judgment package.

Boundary to keep visible

Matching boxes on petition and response do not establish that the schedules are complete or that both parties use the same values.
