Cr 115 Form PDF Details

The CR-115 form is a Defendant's Statement of Assets required by California courts in restitution proceedings. When a court orders a defendant to pay restitution to a crime victim under Penal Code § 1202.4(f)(4), judges use this form to evaluate the defendant's financial situation before setting payment terms.

The form collects information across several categories: personal identification, employer name and contact information, pay frequency and wage amounts, other income sources, cash on hand, bank account balances and account numbers, real estate ownership details, personal property such as vehicles, stocks and bonds, and outstanding debts including loans, taxes, credit cards, and support arrearages. Defendants who need a certified interpreter may indicate that on the form to ensure accurate completion.

Accuracy is essential. A willful misstatement on the CR-115 form is a misdemeanor under California Penal Code § 1202.4(f)(4). Review every entry carefully before signing. If you need to document your finances for related proceedings, a financial affidavit or verification of assets request form may also be relevant to your case.

Frequently Asked Questions About CR-115

Who must complete the CR-115 form?
Any defendant ordered by a California court to pay restitution to a crime victim. The court uses the completed form to assess the defendant's ability to pay and set appropriate payment terms.

Is the CR-115 the same as the CR-117?
No. The CR-115 is the Defendant's Statement of Assets. The CR-117 is a separate California judicial form used in different criminal proceedings. Always confirm which form your court requires.

What if a section does not apply to me?
Write "N/A" in sections that do not apply rather than leaving them blank. Incomplete forms can delay proceedings, so courts expect every section to be addressed.
