SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA COUNTY OF IMPERIAL

Settlement Agreements

In order to finish a case for parentage, dissolution of marriage, legal separation or nullity, there must be a judgment entered. A judgment can be obtained following a court trial, a default of one party by the other, or by mutual agreement of the parties.

If the parties to a parentage case, dissolution, legal separation or nullity both agree to settle the case, complete the Settlement Agreement-Local Form (FL-11), with the following attached Judicial Council forms if applicable:

• Child Custody and Visitation Order Attachment (FL-341) • Child Support Information and Order Attachment (FL-342) • Spousal, Partner or Family Support Attachment (FL-343) • Property Order Attachment to Judgment (FL-345)

Note: In a default case, the signature of the respondent on the settlement agreement must be notarized.

Attach the completed and signed Settlement Agreement and applicable attachments to the Judgment (FL-180). Submit the Judgment with the other documents required to complete the case.
