California divorce requires a stack of Judicial Council forms. Here’s every form you’ll need, explained in plain English.
Forms to Start the Divorce
| Form | Name | Purpose |
| FL-100 | Petition — Marriage/Domestic Partnership | The main document that starts your divorce |
| FL-110 | Summons — Family Law | Official notice to your spouse that you’ve filed |

| MC-030 | Declaration of Venue | States why you’re filing in this county |
Response Forms
| Form | Name | Purpose |
| FL-120 | Response — Marriage/Domestic Partnership | Your spouse’s response to the petition |

If your spouse doesn’t file a response within 30 days, you can proceed with a default judgment.

The Marital Settlement Agreement
While there’s no specific Judicial Council form for the marital settlement agreement, this is arguably the most important document in your divorce. It’s a custom contract between you and your spouse covering: – Property division – Debt allocation – Spousal support – Child custody and visitation – Child support – Any other terms
How Many Forms Total?
A typical uncontested California divorce with children involves 15–25+ forms. Without children, it’s still 10–15+ forms. Each must be completed accurately — errors cause court rejections and delays.
