FL-140上的話:
Both the preliminary and the final declaration of disclosure must be served on the other party with certain exceptions. Neither disclosure is filed with the court. A declaration stating service was made of the final declaration of disclosure must be filed with the court (see FL-141)
這裏說final dod是必須的。
A preliminary declaration of disclosure but not a final declaration of disclosure is required in the case of a summary dissolution(family code 2109), or in a default judgement(family code 2110), provided the default is not a stipulated judgement or a judgetment based upon a married settlement agreement.
這裏說如果是default with agreement,則preliminary不是必須的。
但"How do you do your own divoice in California",ch14,declaration of disclosure又說:
Waiver of Final Disclosure: ..., If there's an agreement, both party can mutually agree to waive it using form FL-144.
這裏說達成協議的話,dod可以免掉。這不是和FL-140的話矛盾嗎?
