A: It depends of what type of decision the judge gave you in your divorce. If it was a decision dissolving your marriage and returning you to a single person along with orders dividing property and debts and orders disposing of all other issues in the case, then you would use FL 180. I would recommend that you contact the court's facilitator's office for help in filling out the form. I would also recommend obtaining a copy of the minute order and if your court had the luxury of having its own court reporter available at your hearing, then you should also obtain a copy of the transcript of hearing for accuracy. You will also want to provide those to the court along with your drafted judgment so the court can double check for accuracy as well. Good luck.
