FL-160: Property Declaration in a California property case

Where it fits in the property workflow

California Courts permits FL-160 or FL-142 in the disclosure package; the forms organize the ledger differently and should not silently drift.

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

• Identify whether the form is attached to a pleading or used for disclosure
• Separate community and separate schedules as the current form requires
• Carry values, debts, dates and source records across any conversion

The handoff to the next document

Record what form FL-160 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

Using FL-160 instead of FL-142 does not reduce the duty to disclose all known property and obligations.
