FL-144 Guidance: Waiver of Final Declaration of Disclosure (California)

During the process of divorce in California, a point arrives when the parties have exchanged all necessary financial information and have completed the preliminary declarations of disclosure. At this time, parties may opt to use the **FL-144 Waiver of Final Declaration of Disclosure**. This form becomes relevant before the finalization of the divorce settlement. - **Triggered by:** Completion of preliminary disclosures using forms like FL-140 and FL-142. - **Preceded by:** Completion and exchange of the current Income and Expense Declaration (form FL-150). - **Purpose:** To waive the requirement for a final declaration of disclosure under Family Code section 2105(a). By completing the FL-144 form, both parties agree that they have fulfilled their disclosure obligations and now waive the necessity for further disclosures before finalizing their divorce. This waiver affirms that all relevant financial information has been adequately shared and that both parties understand the implications of waiving additional disclosures.
