About this form
This packet opens an uncontested no-fault divorce in California, where both spouses agree on the terms.
California is a one-spouse petition state in Superior Court. The no-fault ground is irreconcilable differences. Official Judicial Council FL forms carry the petition and the Judgment (FL-180). PublicLegal authors the path-cut instructions and the written agreement. The FAQ below covers the details.
See page 1 of the actual blank form and review a plain-language outline. The complete formatted documents are delivered after checkout.
PETITION—MARRIAGE/DOMESTIC PARTNERSHIP. Official Form FL-100 (Rev. January 1, 2020). This is the one-spouse start paper that opens an uncontested California Superior Court case. Official Judgment FL-180 stays in this packet.

The 1 packet documents listed on this page are included, delivered in PDF format. The packet centers on the Petition—Marriage/Domestic Partnership that opens an uncontested no-fault case, plus the supporting filing documents and reference materials shown above.
One spouse must have been a resident of California for six months and of the filing county for three months next preceding the filing of the petition (Fam. Code § 2320(a)). File in the Superior Court of that county. Confirm the county with the clerk. Statewide Judicial Council FL forms are used in every county; some courts also want a local cover sheet or e-file through their portal.
This packet uses California’s no-fault ground that irreconcilable differences have caused the irremediable breakdown of the marriage (Fam. Code § 2310(a)). One spouse files official FL-100. This packet is not summary dissolution and not the joint-petition path.
No judgment of dissolution is final to terminate the marriage until six months after service of the summons and petition or the respondent’s appearance, whichever occurs first (Fam. Code § 2339(a)). Filing alone does not start the clock. Hitting six months does not automatically end the marriage — the judge must sign official FL-180 and the clerk must issue official FL-190. Default cannot be requested until at least 30 days after service. Court schedules vary by county.
No. This packet is built for uncontested cases on one of three finish paths: default without agreement, default with a written agreement, or an uncontested appearance. If your spouse will contest the case, consult a California attorney.
No. ILRG provides self-help legal forms and information, not legal advice. Consult a California attorney if you have significant property, retirement accounts, business interests, safety concerns, or any disagreement about terms.
