Property Declaration
Form FL-160 summarizes how assets and debts are characterized and divided. Our guide helps you organize each item — description, date acquired, gross fair market value, liens, and who it is awarded to — so the property sections of your judgment are consistent and complete.

The guide
What it walks through, in order
- 1–2
Community property
Assets and debts acquired during the marriage or partnership, itemized with values and the division the parties propose or the court has ordered.
- 3–4
Separate property
Assets and debts each party brought into the relationship or received separately — with the guide explaining how characterization is described on the form.
- Final
Totals and consistency check
The guide's checklist confirms values match the FL-150 and judgment paperwork so the clerk does not reject the packet for mismatched numbers.
