A: To file form CIV-165 in California, you'll need to follow a few steps. First, ensure that you have correctly filled out the form with all required information. You can find the form on the California Courts website or at your local courthouse.

Once the form is completed, make several copies. You'll need one for the court, one for yourself, and others for any involved parties. Take the original and the copies to the courthouse where your case is being processed. You'll need to file the form with the clerk's office, where they will stamp your documents and give you a case number if you don't already have one.

After filing, it's important to serve the other parties involved with their copies. This can be done through mail or in person, following the rules of service in California. Keep proof of service for your records. If you have any questions or need further assistance, the court clerk can provide guidance.
