Merriweather is an open-source serif typeface designed for on-screen reading. This font is ideal for text-dense design: the letterforms have a tall x-height but remain relatively small, making for excellent readability across screen sizes while not occupying extra horizontal space.The combination of slim and thick weights gives the font family stylistic range, while conveying a desirable mix of classic, yet modern simplicity. Merriweather communicates warmth and credibility at both large and smaller font sizes.

Once you’ve filed the forms, the next step is to share the forms with your spouse. You need to follow a specific process to do this called “serving papers.”
The jurisdiction for 94704 is Alameda County Superior Court
There are 4 Courthouse Locations.
All case types are handled at the Fairfield courthouses. The Vallejo Courthouse process criminal and traffic cases.
There are rules about where you can file your case. Some rules say you can file where you live, others say you must file where the other person lives or where a dispute happened. A judge may not be able to hear your case if you file in the wrong Court. Here are some general rules:
- Is there an open case about this issue? If yes, then file in the county where that case is active.
- If a case hasn’t been started:
- Divorce - the county where you or your spouse has lived for the last 3 months (you must have lived in California for the last 6 months in order to file).
- Child custody or support (parents not married) - you can usually file where the child lives, with some exceptions
- Guardianship - where the minor lives
- Conservatorship - where the person to be conserved lives
- Small claims - where the defendant lives, where the business is officially located, where an accident or dispute took place.
- Restraining orders - where the person accused of abuse lives or where the abuse took place.
- Eviction - where the property is located.
NOTE! These rules cover common situations. Sometimes there are exceptions or other rules that apply to your case. For cases about minors or small claims, please speak to your local court Self-Help Center staff, or a lawyer referral service for assistance.

Brow Description
Form FL-210/FL-200
What do these papers mean?
If you received this summons and petition, it means someone has gone to court to establish that you or they are the parent of a child.
Who sent me these papers?
The name of the person is at the very top of your summons (form FL-210).
Throughout these forms, you are called the respondent, and the person who sent the petition is called the petitioner.
What does this petition say?
First look on form FL-200, which should be with the summons, to find the name(s) of the child(ren) this is about.
On the second page of FL-200, read sections 7, 8, 9, and 10 to see what orders the person is asking the court to make about parentage, custody and visitation.
Parentage
In section 7 the petitioner has indicated who they believe are the legal parents of the child.
-
Prepare the claim of exemption
Prepare a Claim of Exemption (Enforcement of Judgment) (form EJ-160) and if based on financial need, Financial Statement (form EJ-165) -
File the claim of exemption with the sheriff
File the original plus one copy with the sheriff shown on the Notice of Levy (form EJ-150) form within 10 days (15 days if the Notice of Levy was served by mail
What is legal parentage all about?
Once a person is established as the parent of a child, they will have all the rights and responsibilities of a parent:
Parents are able to request custody and visitation (parenting time) orders from the court
Parents are also responsible for paying child support and will have to pay a portion (usually ½) of the uninsured health-care costs for the children as well as a portion of child-care costs that result from the custodial parent getting or having a job or going to school.
If there is a court order that a person is the parent of a child, that person MUST financially support the child. It is a crime for a legal parent to fail to support his or her child. The parent also has the right to request custody or visitation rights related to the child.
Additional Fields
Check your document to see if the following fields were selected and if so find out about each of those sections.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

In general, after a divorce, you keep your separate property and divide your community property.
Phase 1: Starting a Divorce
For your case to be fair, the court requires everyone to have copies of the same papers and information before any orders are made.
Here's a simplified version of the typical process for starting a divorce. There are many ways this process may be different depending on your situation. For example, it’s possible to get a divorce even if the other spouse doesn’t respond to the divorce papers.
Select a task from the diagram or from the list below to get step-by-step instructions and also to find out what to do if your situation doesn’t follow the typical path
Filing your divorce petition and summons
For your case to be fair, the court requires everyone to have copies of the same papers and information before any orders are made.
Once you complete your forms, you need to file them with the court and pay a filing fee of $435-$450. If you are unable to afford this fee, you may apply for a fee waiver.
-
Take your forms to the court clerk
Check Find my Court to find the courthouse in your county that accepts divorce filings. Look for the courthouse location that lists “Family” as one of the subjects under “Matters Served.”
At the courthouse, you’ll file the forms by giving the original and the 2 copies to the clerk.
The clerk will give you a case number and stamp the forms
The court will keep the original and return the copies to you. One is for you, the other for your spouse.
-
Pay a filing fee
You’ll need to pay a fee of $435-$450 to the clerk when you file your forms.
If you can’t afford the fee, you can ask the clerk for a fee waiver. You qualify for a fee waiver if:
- You receive public benefits
- Your income falls below a level classified as low income
- You can’t afford the fee and to meet your basic needs
-
Wait to see if the claim of exemption is opposed
The debt collector has 10 days (15 if the sheriff serves them by mail) to oppose your claim. If not opposed, your claim is granted, and the amount of money claimed as exempt is returned.
Array
In general, after a divorce, you keep your separate property and divide your community property.
Phase 2: Sharing Financial Information
Sharing financial information with your spouse is a requirement for getting divorced
To divorce, you must share complete and up-to-date information about your finances with your spouse and your spouse must share this with you. This is called disclosure. You can’t get divorced if you don’t share financial information.
Not only is sharing this information required, but being upfront makes it easier to work out an agreement with your spouse. You need this information to divide your property and debts equally and make decisions about child and spousal support.
You must share financial information by a deadline.
The first time you give your spouse this information it’s called preliminary disclosures You must complete preliminary disclosures by a deadline:
- 60-days after filing for divorce, if you’re the petitioner
- 60-days after you’re served with divorce papers, if you’re the responden
Sometimes, you also must make a second disclosure, a final disclosure, at the end of your case. This happens if you end up having a trial. If you don’t have a trial, you can waive this final requirement.
How to serve divorce papers using personal service
For your case to be fair, the court requires everyone to have copies of the same papers and information before any orders are made.
Once you file the first papers in your divorce case, you must notify your spouse by formally delivering copies of the paperwork. This is called serving papers.
The primary way this is done is called personal service. This means another adult, not you, hands them a copy of the filed papers. This person is your server.
Your server must complete a form and file it with the court to prove they delivered the papers.
There are alternatives to personal service. There are a few situations when personal service is not allowed, not possible, or requires extra steps. For example, the person is out-of-state, in jail, or you can’t find them.
See guidelines for service in special situations
-
Choose a server
You can't serve papers yourself. Ask another adult – a server – to deliver the papers.
Your server must be
- 18 or over, and
- Not part of your case
Your server can be:
- Someone you know
- The county sheriff (in most, not all, counties)
- A professional process server you hire
The sheriff charges to serve papers unless you have a fee waiver.
-
Figure out when to serve
There’s no specific deadline to serve the divorce petition, but you can't move your case forward until you serve your spouse.
Once they are served, they have 30-days to respond. After that, you can move your case forward even if they don’t respond.

-
Have your server give the papers to your spouse
Your server must find the person and hand them these forms:
- Copies of forms you filed with the court (except any fee waiver forms)
- Blank Response - Marriage/Domestic Partnership (form FL-120)
- Blank response forms if you filed other papers
Your server should note the address where they gave your spouse or partner the papers, along with the date and time. The server needs this information to fill out the Proof of Service form.
If the other person won’t take the papers, your server may leave them by the person and tell them what they are. For example, your server can leave them on the doorstep and say, 'These are important legal papers for you.' -
Have your server complete the Proof of Service form
You can use(form FL-115). Proof of Service of Summons
It helps if you fill in the top part of the form with the case and court information.
Your server can then fill in the information about how, when, and where they served the papers. Your server must sign the form.
-
Copy and file the Proof of Service form
- Make a copy of your Proof of Service form.
- File the original and copy with the court where you filed the papers. The court will stamp and return the copy.
- Keep the copy of the Proof of Service form for your records.

What’s next?
Once you’ve served the petition and summons forms, your spouse has 30 days to respond. How they respond will determine how you’ll move forward with your case.
Regardless of how they respond, you’ll need to complete your financial disclosures.
Phase 3: Reaching and documenting an agreement
- How you divide your property and debts
- Whether anyone will pay spousal support
You can work with your spouse to decide these issues together. If you can’t agree, you can ask the court to decide.
Phase 4: Finalizing a Divorce
To finish your divorce, you must turn in a set of final forms along with your agreement to the court.
The details of this process are slightly different depending on how you and your spouse are working together, or if you’re not.
There are alternatives to personal service. There are a few situations when personal service is not allowed, not possible, or requires extra steps. For example, the person is out-of-state, in jail, or you can’t find them.

What to know about property law if you’re getting a divorce
When you divorce, the court has to formally approve how you’ll divide your property and debts
Part of your divorce involves dividing your property and debts. Even if you divided everything informally when you separated, the court still needs to make a formal order about these issues. This doesn’t mean you have to go to court. The court could formally approve an agreement you and your spouse write up. If you can't decide, the court can decide for you at a hearing or trial. To tell the court what you want to happen, it helps to know some terms and basic concepts about property law in California. You will see these terms on many of the court forms you’ll need to use.
California divides property two categories: community property and separate property
Community property: This is what either of you earned (or debt you took out) after you married, but before you separated. The “community” is you and your spouse. The property belongs to you both equally.
Separate property: This is what you had before you married or got after you separated. Gifts or inheritance to one of you is also separate property. Separate property means it belongs to one of you.
Community and separate property applies to property and debts you owe.
In general, after a divorce, you keep your separate property and divide your community property.
In general, after a divorce, you keep your separate property and divide your community property.
Community or separate? It generally depends on your date of separation
You need to know when you married and when you separated to figure out what's separate property and what's community property. The day of your marriage is generally easy to figure out. Separation can be trickier. Figure out your date of separation:
-
Start with the day that you let your spouse know (by actions or words) that you wanted to end your marriage
-
Confirm that after that day, your actions were consistent with wanting to end your marriage
-
I didn't knowthere was a court case.
Depending on the reasons, you may be eligible to "set aside" the default judgement, or you might be able to negotiate a settlement with the debt collector.
For some people, this is the day they moved out. For others, this is a day the two spouses agreed together that their marriage was over, and they made plans to divorce. From that day forward, what you or your spouse earned or loans you took out were no longer community property.
In general, after a divorce, you keep your separate property and divide your community property.

In general, after a divorce, you keep your separate property and divide your community property.
How to tell when something is separate property
Separate property is:
-
Anything you earned or owned (or a debt) from before you married or after you separated
-
Gifts or inheritance (to one of you) even if it was given or inherited when you were married
-
I didn't knowthere was a court case.
Depending on the reasons, you may be eligible to "set aside" the default judgement, or you might be able to negotiate a settlement with the debt collector.
Anything you buy with separate property or you earn from separate property is also separate property.

Example
Someone took money from my paycheck

Wage Garnishment
If you bought a car with money that only you earned while married, the car is community property even though the money used to pay for it was earned by one spouse and not the other.
If you have separate property, it belongs only to you, as long as it was kept separately. Kept it separately means you didn’t give it to your spouse. Debts can be separate property too, such as credit cards you might get after you separate.
After divorce, each of you can keep your separate property.The court does not divide separate property. Instead, the court “confirms” it is your separate property.
Anything you buy with separate property or you earn from separate property is also separate property.How to tell when something is community property

Bank Levy
A bank levy is when the debt collector directs the sheriff to take the money in your bank account or items in a safe deposit box.
What did the bank notice say?
Filing a claim of exemption for bank levy
The amount taken will be up to the amount of the judgment plus interest. The levy is not continuous; it only takes the money in the account at the time of the levy. Funds deposited after the levy are not taken. You may be able to get some or all of the money levied depending on the source of the funds deposited into the account or your financial situation.
If your bank account is levied, you must act quickly! You have only ten days from the date of the levy to file a claim of exemption (plus five days if the notice was sent by mail) with the sheriff performing the levy.

Direct-deposit federal benefit accounts
You likely received this notice because your bank account is a Social Security direct-deposit account.
Federal benefits are exempt from a bank levy, and in recent years federal regulations have required banks to look at whether an account is receiving federal benefits before levying any funds. If an account is a deposit account for federal benefits the bank then looks at the total amount of benefits deposited in the two months prior to the levy. If the balance in the account is less than the two months of benefits, the bank does not levy the account, and sends a notice of this to the account holder. If the account balance exceeded the levy amounts, then only the amount over these two months of benefits would be taken.
As long as your account balance is less than two months of the federal benefits being deposited into it, your account will remain safe from garnishment.
If your bank account is levied, you must act quickly! You have only ten days from the date of the levy to file a claim of exempltion (plus five days if the notice was sent be mail) with the sheriff performing the levy.

General information about judgments, collection, and your options
A judgment is an order stating that you owe the debt collector the amount on the judgment.
- You would owe the full amount right away unless the judge ordered a payment plan (or you are filing an appeal).
- The court does not take any steps to collect a judgment on its own. It is up to you to pay the judgment, or the debt collector to collect the judgment.
- As long as the judgment is unpaid, it will gather interest at 10% per year. The sooner a judgment is paid, the less interest you will have to pay on top of the judgment.
Why did I receive a judgment?
You received a judgment because the court decided against you in a court case. This could have happened in one of a few ways:
By default
Because you didn't respond to the lawsuit.
At the beginning of a case, the defendant is supposed to serve you with a few documents including a Summons and Complaint. This means that someone is supposed to hand you or someone in your home or work with a copy of these documents. If they hand it to someone else, a copy is supposed to be mailed to you. This starts your time to respond to the lawsuit. Normally, you have 30 days to respond. If you do not, the other side may request "default" and ask the court to decide the case without you.
-
I didn't understand I needed to file a response.
If you act quickly, you may be eligible to "set aside" the default judgment, or you might be able to negotiate a settlement with the debt collector.
-
I didn't know there was a court case.
Depending on the reasons, you may be eligible to "set aside" the default judgment, or you might be able to negotiate a settlement with the debt collector.
After trial
After each side appears in court to present their case.
After a motion for summary judgment or judgment on the pleadings
After the debt collector files a motion to decide the case without trial.
If your bank account is levied, you must act quickly! You have only ten days from the date of the levy to file a claim of exempltion (plus five days if the notice was sent be mail) with the sheriff performing the levy.
What can happen next
In collection cases, it is common for a debt collector to try to collect by:
-
Wage garnishment
Taking up to 25% of after-tax wages
-
Lien against real property
Making it so you cannot sell, re-finance, or buy land without paying
-
Bank levy
Taking the money from a bank account or emptying a safe-deposit box
You have the opportunity to defend against each type of collection. You may also negotiate a settlement with the debt collector, or in a limited civil case (under $25,000) file a motion to pay judgment in installments.
How can I protect my money or things from collection?
When a debt collector tries to collect, you may attempt to defend your money or property from collection. Other than negotiating a settlement, these defenses do not reduce a judgment, or stop interest from being added to the judgment.

Brow Description
Liens against real property
A lien is the result of the judgment being recorded with the Clerk Recorder for the county.
This lien will prevent you from buying, selling, or refinancing any land until the lien is cleared. Liens are on a county-by-county basis, so having a lien in one county does not affect your property in another.
To clear the lien, you must either pay the judgment in full or negotiate a settlement with the debt collector.

Brow Description
Negotiating a Settlement
At any time you and the debt collector may agree to settle the judgment. Any settlement that you and the debt collector can agree to is a valid settlement.
Common types of settlements include:
- A lump sum payment of less than the full amount to settle the entire judgment
- A partial lump sum payment, plus monthly payments until a set amount is paid
- Monthly payments with or without any discount to the judgment or even
- Dismissal of the case/judgment
Benefits of settlement
Settlements allow you to take control of the judgment and set its terms. Settlements are often successful because each party has agreed to it, and is therefore more willing to do what is agreed.
Ideally, a settlement should allow you to leave in a better position than if you did nothing. For you, that may be paying less, or paying on more favorable terms. To the debt collector, this could be collecting sooner rather than later, and with less effort.
Steps of Negotiation

-
Decide how to negotiate
Decide how you wish to negotiate. Common choices are verbally, usually by phone, or in writing.
-
Reach an agreement

If the debt collector prepares the settlement agreement, read it very carefully, and be sure that you understand and agree to any terms in the settlement before you sign. You are allowed to consult an attorney before signing any settlement agreement.

Filing a claim of exemption for wage garnishment
A wage garnishment is one of the most common ways to collect a judgment.
- You will not go to jail for having a judgment against you.
- If you receive a wage garnishment or bank levy, you have only days to take action.
- There are ways you can control the repayment of the judgment.
If your wages are garnished, the debt collector can take up to 25% of your after-tax wages. If your income is low or near minimum wage, the amount taken may be less than 25%. Unfortunately, some employers miscalculate the amount below 25%.
By law, your employer cannot fire you or take other action against you for a single wage garnishment.
If you are unable to afford the amount to be garnished from wages, a claim of exemption may reduce or stop the withholding. Act quickly! If you file within ten days you might be able to prevent the garnishment from starting. Even if the garnishment starts, file as early as possible, since the sheriff will hold onto funds levied after filing the claim of exemption. Once the garnishment starts and funds are transferred to the debt collector, it is almost impossible to get them back.
If your bank account is levied, you must act quickly! You have only ten days from the date of the levy to file a claim of exempltion (plus five days if the notice was sent be mail) with the sheriff performing the levy.

What do these papers mean?
The other party in your family law case is asking the court to make a decision. The court set a date to hear from both sides (a "hearing") before it makes a decision.
Page 2
Hearing Date and Time
The date, time, and place is on the first page.
Page 2
What the Other Party is Asking the Court to Decide
The topic of the request is checked on the first page. Exactly what the person wants the Court to decide and why are on Pages 2-4 and any attachments.
If "Change" is checked it means that there's already an order about this issue and the other party wants that changed.
If "Temporary emergency orders" is checked it means the other party asked the court to decide something urgent before the hearing. If the Court agreed, item 7 at the bottom of Page 1 will be checked and the orders will be attached. These orders are temporary. They only last until the hearing. You must follow these orders.
Orders Made Before the Hearing
Sometimes the Court makes orders about what one or both sides must do before the hearing. For example, if the hearing is about child custody and visitation, the Court may order you to attend mediation. You must follow any orders listed.
What you can do
No matter what you decide to do, right now you need to:
- follow any orders in or attached to the Request for Order
- go to mediation, if ordered in item 6 on Page 1
You have options to respond. If you don't respond, the Court will decide without your input.
There's generally no cost to respond. If this is the first time you are filing papers in the case, there may be a fee. If you can't afford the fee, you can ask for a fee waiver.
If You Can Reach an Agreement
Unless there is a restraining order, contact the other side to see if you can agree. If you do, you can submit a signed written agreement to the Court and request to cancel the hearing.
-
If You Disagree
- Complete, file, and serve Responsive Declaration to Request for Orders (Form Fl-320) to let the Court that know you disagree and why.
- This must be filed and served at least 9 court days before the hearing unless item 5 on Page 1 says otherwise.
