Income and Expense Declaration
Form FL-150 tells the court what you earn, what you spend, and what you own. It accompanies support requests and fee requests. Our guide helps you gather pay stubs, tax returns, and expense figures so the numbers are complete, consistent, and supported by attachments.
Before you start
Gather this first
- ✓Recent pay stubs (two months is typical) or proof of other income
- ✓Last two years of tax returns
- ✓Monthly expense figures — housing, utilities, food, transportation, insurance, debts
- ✓Bank account and asset balances
The guide
What it walks through, in order
- 1–3
Job and income
Employer information, pay period and frequency, gross monthly income, deductions, and other income such as self-employment, benefits, or support received.
- 4–6
Expenses
Monthly expenses itemized the way the court expects, with special categories for childcare, uninsured health costs, and education.
- 7–8
Assets, debts, and signature
Bank accounts, real property, vehicles, retirement, and debts — then the signature under penalty of perjury and the attachments the court requires.
