FL-170 - California Judicial Council
Declaration for Default or Uncontested Dissolution
Used in uncontested divorces to ask the court to grant a judgment without holding a hearing.
What this form does
FL-170 is filed when both parties have agreed on everything — or when the respondent defaulted — and you want the court to enter a judgment without a trial or hearing. You confirm the facts of the marriage, the agreement reached, and ask the judge to sign off on the judgment.
Who needs to file it
The petitioner in a default or uncontested dissolution.
When to file it
Filed with the judgment packet when you are ready for the final judgment.
What happens after you file
The judge reviews the packet. If everything is in order, the judgment is signed and the marriage is legally dissolved.
Filing fee: No separate filing fee.
