The California Financial Declaration (Confidential) is a document used in California family law proceedings to disclose the financial information of each party. It is a comprehensive document that requires the parties to disclose their financial information, including income, assets, debts, and expenses. The California Financial Declaration (Confidential) is designed to ensure that both parties are fully informed of each other’s financial situation and to provide a basis for equitable division of assets. There are two types of California Financial Declaration (Confidential): the Short Form and the Long Form. The Short Form is used when the parties are not married and do not have substantial assets or debts, while the Long Form is used when the parties are married and/or have substantial assets or debts. Both forms require each party to provide detailed information about their income, assets, debts, and expenses. The information provided is strictly confidential and is only used to determine the equitable division of assets in a family law proceeding.
