Confused On Divorce Property [cali]

Location: California, US

I provided the section of FL-100 that I am currently have trouble with.

On FL-100;

Section 9 “Separate Property”

9(a) “There are no such assets or debts that I know of to be confirmed by the court” [ ]

9(b) “Confirm as separate property the assets and debts in…”[ ]

[ ] Property Declaration (form FL-160)

[ ] Attachment 9b

[ ] The following List Item Confirm to

——————————————————————— Section 10 “Community and Quasi-Community Property”

10(a)“There are no such assets or debts that I know of to be confirmed by the court” [ ]

10(b) “Determines rights to community and quasi community assets and debts . All such the assets and debts in…”[ ]

[ ] Property Declaration (form FL-160)

[ ] Attachment 9b

[ ] The following (specify)

——————————————————————— So this is where my confusion lies my divorce will be a true default because I have not seen my wife in 5 years and I have no idea where she is. I tried last addresses, phone numbers, white pages, voting registration, prison records….nothing.

I have a car I obtained before I got married and, debt that I got in the marriage but I intend to pay it off myself. I don’t know if she got property while not seeing each other all this time or a new car or debt and I don’t want to be involved in that. ——————————————————————— So I have these checked off:

9(b) “Confirm as separate property the assets and debts in…”✅

Property Declaration (form FL-160) ✅

And the following list;

“Each party shall be responsible for debts in their own name, whether incurred before or after the date of separation. Petitioner is not requesting the court to divide any debts at this time. Any debts of the other party, whether known or unknown, shall remain the sole resident that party. “

For section 10

10(b) “Determines rights to community and quasi community assets and debts . All such the assets and debts in…”✅

Property Declaration (form FL-160) ✅

As follows (specify):

“Each party shall be responsible for debts in their own name, whether incurred before or after the date of separation. Petitioner is not requesting the court to divide any debts at this time. Any debts of the other party, whether known or unknown, shall remain the sole resident that party. “

——————————————————————— I’m unsure whether I should have FL-160 checked off for both sections or for only one and which one?

I’m unsure if the statement of how each party should be held responsible for their own debts should stay in both sections (9&10) .

For section 10 should I have just checked off 10a? Since I honestly have no idea if she has property or debts. For the following (specify) section within section 10. Should I say “No information known to petitioner regarding other community property or debts at this time.” Or just leave it blank? And only check off 10(a) “There are no such assets or debts that I know of to be confirmed by the court”, since it is a true default?
