@MyCourtCoach My husband just got served with papers. He wants to object to her declaration that has all these false statements. Do we just fill out the Mc form and turn it in at court or is there more to it? I would truly appreciate a response
Hello if I want to attach PDFS , signed statements of witnesses , screenshots etc for evidence would I put them in a form mc025 or would I just submit them when EFILING ? Thank you
Declarations are so important. It gives your Side of what you're saying, to the Respondent.
Agreed. Thanks for the comment.
Hello thanks so much for your information by any chance would you happen to know how to fill out the Declaration for a spousal petition

i have a questions. i am in california but i need to know what form can we use to attached that we found discrepancies of the other party for the court for review. please help.
I filed a declaration with the court do I also need a RFO to get the declaration paid attention to?
Hi, thank you for your question. Typically the declaration is attached to the FL-300 or FL-320 if you're responding to the RFO. Both the RFO FL-300 and the declaration tend to be filed together. A judge cannot make any new orders based solely on a declaration, without an RFO being filed. I hope this helps.
a witness can do this
Yep, it's often helpful when witnesses write down their statements in sworn declarations. Thanks for the comment.
How many days before court must the MC 030 and MC 025 be filed and served to the other party?

can a declaration form MC-030 be used to submit witness testimony for a small claims case? La county Stanley Mosk.
It seems like the clerk's office would accept the form in a small claims case. It's a "miscellaneous" form so should have general application to all sorts of cases. You might talk to the court clerk to be sure. By way of example, the MC-031 is a form that can be attached to a small claims form (the SC-105).
Hello, How do I prepare the MC 031 for a motion to compel to waive spouse's pdd? It is the last thing holding up my divorce. Spouse/Respondent won't give me his financials and I just want to waive our final PDD and move on to get the divorce judgement.
Tell the judge the story. Explain that you've complied with your obligations, what you've done to try to get him to comply, what assurances you have that there are no financial details that you don't know about. For instance, have you seen his Income and Expense Declarations and were they recent and did you get evidence that they were accurate? The judge wants to make sure you are protected. See Family Code 2104 and 2107: leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displayText.xhtml?lawCode=FAM&division=6.&title=&part=1.&chapter=9.&article=
My document processor told me to use MC-031 instead of MC-025 if I needed more room past my MC-030. I've already turned this in, will the judge accept this?
If my witness uses an MC-030 to write their statement does my information go at the top as "party" or does their information?
1. The judge will likely accept it. 2. A witness is not a "party" to the lawsuit. It will be your information in the top left corner.
@@MyCourtCoach Woohoo, appreciate you!
can you help me with a car accident case i want to open a small claim i want a mentor that can help me through whole case
It's unclear exactly what kind of help you need and how much help you need. In many small claims courts, there are people there to answer questions and assist with procedure.
Tooooo many details. No kids on my Mc attached. Just needed a 2 minute lesson on the FORM. No patents even involved
The funny thing is that the state owns the legal documents which belongs to the public and you only have interest in the private. The state comes at you privately under a public entity and doesn’t disclose it and hide under the immunity as private interests holder. All this is just smoke and mirrors
