It records requests and allegations. It is not a judgment and does not prove those requests were granted. [Official form](https://selfhelp.courts.ca.gov/jcc-form/FL-100) · [CourtAhead guide](https://courtahead.com/resources/fl-100) ### FL-110 **Summons (Family Law)** Says a family-law case has started, describes response consequences and contains rules that can apply during the case. The form itself does not prove when or how you were served. Service facts must be checked separately.

It reports a service event. It is not the underlying financial packet or independent proof that every disclosure was complete or accurate. [Official form](https://selfhelp.courts.ca.gov/jcc-form/FL-141) · [CourtAhead guide](https://courtahead.com/resources/california-divorce-financial-disclosures) ### FL-142 **Schedule of Assets and Debts** Lists known property and debt and can accompany FL-140 as part of a financial disclosure packet. It is party-supplied disclosure information, not a court finding about ownership, characterization, value or responsibility. [Official form](https://selfhelp.courts.ca.gov/jcc-form/FL-142) · [CourtAhead guide](https://courtahead.com/resources/fl-142) ### FL-150 **Income and Expense Declaration** Gives financial information used when the court considers support, attorney fees and certain other costs.
