A: In your situation, when completing form FL-343 for a default divorce in California without spousal support, it's important to pay close attention to the details in the form. Generally, the section "The Court Finds" is used when the court has made specific findings regarding spousal support. Since you're proceeding with a default divorce without spousal support, this section may not be applicable to your case.

Regarding item 2 on page 1 of FL-343, this section typically relates to the determination of spousal or partner support. If your case does not involve spousal support, you might not need to check anything under this item. However, it's essential to read the form carefully and ensure that all relevant sections are completed accurately, reflecting the specifics of your case.

Given the complexities of legal forms and the importance of accuracy in legal proceedings, you might find it beneficial to consult with a colleague or a legal expert to review the form before submission. This can help ensure that all necessary sections are correctly filled out and that the form aligns with the specifics of your divorce case.
