Where it fits in the property workflow
Property-related requests may address control, sale, payment, use or preservation while the final division remains unresolved.
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
- State the exact order requested and the facts supporting it
- Attach current records for the property or obligation at issue
- Separate temporary cash-flow relief from final characterization and division
The handoff to the next document
Record what form FL-300 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
A modelled settlement preference is not a basis for an order. The filing requires case-specific facts, procedure and legal review.
