Fl 103 Form PDF Details

The FL-103 form holds significant relevance within the context of California family law, serving as a vital document for individuals seeking to dissolve a marriage or domestic partnership, seek legal separation, or annul a domestic partnership or marriage under specific circumstances. Notably tailored to accommodate the dissolution processes for both same-sex and opposite-sex partnerships, this form encapsulates the complexities and nuances intrinsic to family law proceedings within the state. With space to delineate statistical facts including the registration date of the domestic partnership or marriage and the separation date, alongside the residency requirements necessary for the filing party, the FL-103 ensures a comprehensive approach to commence proceedings. Furthermore, it addresses matters concerning minor children, separate and community property, and outlines the petitioner's requests regarding dissolution, separation, or annulment grounds as recognized by California Family Code sections. In addition to the discussed areas, the form also contemplates requests for custody, visitation, child and partner support, attorney fees, and property division, allowing the filing party to delineate their desired outcomes. The inclusion of restraining order acknowledgements, along with the advisories on how the dissolution may impact estate planning, insurance, and financial accounts, further exemplifies the form’s thoroughness in covering the legal implications and responsibilities arising from the dissolution of a domestic partnership or marriage in California.

(SIGNATURE OF ATTORNEY FOR PETITIONER)

NOTICE: Dissolution or legal separation may automatically cancel the rights of a domestic partner or spouse under the other domestic partner’s or spouse’s will, trust, retirement plan, power of attorney, pay-on-death bank account, survivorship rights to any property owned in joint tenancy, and any other similar thing. It does not automatically cancel the right of a domestic partner or spouse as beneficiary of the other partner’s or spouse’s life insurance policy. You should review these matters, as well as any credit cards, other credit accounts, insurance polices, retirement plans, and credit reports, to determine whether they should be changed or whether you should take any other actions. However, some changes may require the agreement of your partner or spouse or a court order (see Fam. Code, §§ 231–235).
