This is Judicial Council of California Form FL-145, a set of standard written questions (interrogatories) that one party in a family law case can send to the other party to gather information. It covers topics like personal history, income, assets, debts, and legal agreements to facilitate the discovery process in divorce or legal separation proceedings. Today, this form can be filled out quickly and accurately using AI-powered services like Instafill.ai, which can also convert non-fillable PDF versions into interactive fillable forms.

The AI checks your answers before you download

14 checks built for this form, so a wrong date or a missing answer is caught before anyone else sees it.

Case Number Completeness

This check ensures that the 'CASE NUMBER' field is not empty. The case number is a unique identifier for the legal proceeding and is essential for the court to correctly file the document and associate it with the proper case file. A submission without a case number would be rejected by the court clerk, causing delays.

Party Identification Completeness

Validates that the 'Asking Party' and 'Answering Party' fields are both filled in. Properly identifying both parties is fundamental for legal discovery, as it clarifies who is requesting the information and who is required to respond. Failure to identify both parties makes the document legally ambiguous and unenforceable.

Distinct Party Validation

This check verifies that the names entered for the 'Asking Party' and 'Answering Party' are not identical. In a legal proceeding, these interrogatories are exchanged between opposing parties. Entering the same name for both would be a logical error, indicating a mistake in data entry that would invalidate the purpose of the form.

Set Number Format and Value

Ensures the 'Set No.' field contains a positive integer (e.g., 1, 2, 3). Legal procedure limits the number of interrogatories, and sets are numbered sequentially to track discovery requests. An invalid or missing set number can cause confusion and may lead to objections from the opposing party or rejection by the court.

Minimum Interrogatory Selection

Verifies that at least one checkbox corresponding to an interrogatory (questions 1-21) has been selected by the 'Asking Party'. Serving a form with no questions checked is pointless and indicates an error or an incomplete form. The system should prevent submission of a blank request to avoid wasting time and resources.

Attorney/Party Contact Information

This check confirms that the name/address block and the telephone number field for the 'ATTORNEY OR PARTY WITHOUT ATTORNEY' are completed. This contact information is legally required for service of documents and communication between parties. Missing information can halt legal proceedings and may result in sanctions.

Common Mistakes in Completing FL-145

The ones the AI is built to catch.

Failing to Sign the Answers Under Oath
The Answering Party must provide their responses on a separate document, concluding with the specific oath from Section 5, followed by a date and signature. People often forget this final step, which invalidates the entire response and can lead to court sanctions. It is crucial to declare under penalty of perjury that the answers are true and correct, as these are sworn legal statements.
Omitting Required Document Attachments
Several questions, such as #7 (pay stubs) and #9 (tax returns), explicitly require attaching documents. A common error is to either forget the attachments entirely or simply refer to them without providing copies. This renders the response incomplete, forcing the asking party to file a motion to compel and causing unnecessary delays and legal fees.
Incorrectly Identifying the 'Asking' and 'Answering' Parties
The party sending the form must list themselves as the 'Asking Party' and the recipient as the 'Answering Party' in the header. Parties filling out the form sometimes get this reversed, causing significant confusion about who is propounding and who is responding. This simple clerical error can lead to the document being rejected or requiring re-service.
Neglecting to Complete the Schedule of Assets and Debts (FL-142)
Interrogatory #10 is not a question but a directive to complete and serve the separate 'Schedule of Assets and Debts' (form FL-142). Many subsequent questions rely on the information in that schedule. Failing to complete the FL-142 makes the entire response critically deficient and will almost certainly result in further legal action to compel its production.
Providing Vague or Incomplete Factual Support
Questions like #11 (Separate Property Contentions) and #15 (Reimbursement Claims) require a statement of 'facts that support your contention.' A frequent mistake is to provide a simple conclusion, such as 'the car is my separate property,' without the supporting facts like the date of acquisition, source of funds, and how title is held. This lack of detail weakens the legal claim and fails to properly answer the interrogatory.
Failing to Select Interrogatories to be Answered
This mistake is made by the 'Asking Party' who sends the form. Section 3 instructs the sender to check the box next to each question they want the other party to answer. Sending the form with no boxes checked is legally ineffective, as it doesn't actually ask any questions, wasting both time and the cost of service.
Answering Questions Directly on the Form Itself
This form is a list of questions, not a fillable answer sheet; the responses must be provided on separate pleading paper. People unfamiliar with legal procedure may try to squeeze answers into the margins, leading to unorganized, incomplete, and non-compliant responses. Since the original is often a non-fillable PDF, using a tool like Instafill.ai can help convert it and properly format the answers on a separate, correctly captioned document.
Failing to Provide Complete Identifying Information for Persons or Plans
When asked to identify a person or a retirement plan (e.g., question #14), many people only provide a name. The form's definitions (Sec. 2f) and specific questions require full details, including addresses, phone numbers, and plan administrator information. Omitting these details prevents the other party from being able to issue subpoenas or follow up, making the answer insufficient.
Missing the Statutory Response Deadline
Section 4 clearly states that the Answering Party must respond under oath within 30 days. Parties often miscalculate the deadline or simply procrastinate, which has severe consequences. Missing the deadline can result in a waiver of all objections (including attorney-client privilege) and expose the party to a motion to compel and monetary sanctions from the court.
Omitting Prior or Alternate Names
Interrogatory #1 asks for the party's full name and 'any other names you have used.' A common oversight is forgetting to list maiden names, names from a previous marriage, or former legal names. This omission can be seen as an attempt to conceal assets or information and can hinder the discovery process, as assets may be held under a prior name.

Who is the 'Asking Party' and who is the 'Answering Party'?

How long do I have to respond to these interrogatories?
You must provide your answers under oath within 30 days of receiving the form, in accordance with the California Code of Civil Procedure.
What does it mean that my answers must be 'under oath'?
It means you must sign a statement at the end of your answers declaring under penalty of perjury that your responses are true and correct. Providing false information can have serious legal consequences.
What documents do I need to attach with my answers?
You may need to attach several documents, such as your last three paycheck stubs, tax returns for the past three years, and copies of any agreements or appraisals, depending on which questions are checked by the Asking Party.
What if I don't know the answer to a question?
You are required to furnish all information you have or can reasonably find out. If you still don't know the answer after a diligent search, you should state that you don't know.
What if I can only answer part of a question?

Question 10 refers to a 'Schedule of Assets and Debts (form FL-142)'. What is that?
The Schedule of Assets and Debts (FL-142) is a separate, detailed form used to list all your known property and debts. If question 10 is checked, you must complete and serve form FL-142 along with your answers to these interrogatories.
What does it mean to contend an asset is 'separate property' (Question 11)?
Separate property is generally property owned before marriage, or received during marriage as a gift or inheritance. If you claim an asset is yours alone and not part of the marital estate, you must state the facts that support your claim.
