FL-170: Declaration for Default or Uncontested Dissolution in a California property case

Where it fits in the property workflow

It connects procedural facts to the requested judgment, including whether property issues are resolved by attachment or agreement.

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

• Match every property attachment to the final selected allocation
• Confirm unresolved assets are reserved rather than accidentally omitted
• Check disclosure completion and judgment consistency

The handoff to the next document

Record what form FL-170 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

An uncontested label does not eliminate the need for an internally consistent and implementable property division.
