Need to amend a form...HOW?
|
I need to amend a FL-142 form that was filed when a legal separation was first done. I'm doing this myself(no lawyer) so wasn't aware I couldn't do this when I re-did that form with updated debt/asset values. I was told by a paralegal at the court it had to match the original one on file so I'm told I need to have the amended one notarized by the spouse.
Is there a form I do this with? just have the fl-142 notarized?
BTW - I would just use the original one on file but there are alot of problems with the original values used.

Hi,
The FL-142 (Schedule Of Assets And Debts) is normally NOT filed with the court and is instead used for disclosure purposes.
I am not sure why a court clerk would tell you that a new one has to match the one on file, as it should not have been filed at all.
Also, there are two parts to disclosure - and the second, or final, disclosure is done so each party has a chance to show the other if anything has changed (values of property or amounts owed on debts, for example).
You also do not have to notarize this form - it scares me to know there is such a misinformed court employee out there!
I hope this helps, and best of luck in your situation.
