What is FL-141?
One-page proof that the mandatory disclosure documents (FL-140 Declaration of Disclosure plus FL-150 Income and Expense Declaration plus FL-142 Schedule of Assets and Debts or FL-160 Property Declaration with attachments) were served on the other spouse, or that the parties waived final disclosure under Family Code section 2105(d) or in a default proceeding under section 2110. THIS form is filed with the court; the underlying disclosure documents are NOT filed.
What happens if you miss the deadline: Without an FL-141 on file, the court usually rejects the FL-180 judgment packet for want of proof of disclosure. Family Code section 2107 lets the court set aside a judgment that was entered without proper disclosure.
How to file
- Filing fee
- $0 for FL-141 itself.
- Filing method
- in-person, mail, efile (county-specific)
- Filing deadline
- FL-141 itself has no statutory deadline. The underlying disclosure has deadlines: preliminary disclosure within 60 days of filing the petition or response (Family Code section 2104); final disclosure no later than 45 days before the first trial date (Family Code section 2105). FL-141 is filed when the filer is ready, commonly with the FL-180 judgment packet. Form text page 1: 'NOTE: File this document with the court. Do not file a copy of the Preliminary or Final Declaration of Disclosure or any attachments to either declaration of disclosure with this document.'
- How to serve
- FL-141 itself is filed with the court, not served. The disclosure documents whose service is being proved (FL-140, FL-150, FL-142 or FL-160 with attachments) were already served on the other side; FL-141 is the receipt.
- Wet signature
- Yes, sign in pen after printing.
- Notarization
- No
- Original and copies
- 1 original to the court; 1 copy for your file.
