FL-345 is a California family court attachment form used to detail the division of property and debts in a divorce (dissolution), legal separation, or annulment judgment. When the court issues a final judgment—often using FL-180 as the cover sheet—FL-345 is attached to specify exactly how community property, separate property, and financial obligations will be allocated between the parties. This form ensures the property division is written in a clear, enforceable format that complies with California’s community property laws.

The form allows the court or the parties to list every significant asset and debt, including real estate, vehicles, bank accounts, retirement accounts, investments, personal property, business interests, and credit card or loan balances. Each item is assigned to one party, and FL-345 makes that assignment legally binding. It also records equalization payments—amounts one party must pay the other to make sure the division is fair. This brings clarity to complex financial settlements and prevents future disputes over who owns what.

FL-345 is often used alongside other financial disclosure documents such as FL-142 (Schedule of Assets and Debts) and FL-160 (Property Declaration). While those forms provide the inventory and characterization of assets, FL-345 documents the final court-ordered division. The attachment ensures that every property item discussed during the case is handled, leaving no unresolved financial issues. This is particularly important in cases with substantial or disputed assets.

The form also includes space for special instructions, such as the division of retirement accounts through a QDRO, transfer of title for property or vehicles, refinancing obligations, or tax responsibilities. These details are important because property division often involves logistical steps that must be carried out after judgment. FL-345 documents these requirements clearly, giving both parties the instructions needed to complete transfers or payments correctly.

In summary, FL-345 is an essential attachment used to finalize and enforce property division orders in California family law cases. It provides a clear, organized, and comprehensive record of how assets and debts are to be divided, ensures legal compliance, and prevents confusion or conflict after the judgment. When completed thoroughly, FL-345 helps the court issue a fair, enforceable property settlement that both parties must follow.
