A: The short answer is yes. If you want the court to make financial orders (child support or spousal support or attorney fees), you'll need to file an FL-150.

You will need to complete and serve an FL-150 on your spouse regardless as part of your Preliminary Declarations of Disclosure.

Good luck.
