(a)
Except by court order for good cause, before or at the time the parties enter into an agreement for the resolution of property or support issues other than pendente lite support, or, if the case goes to trial, no later than 45 days before the first assigned trial date, each party, or the attorney for the party in this matter, shall serve on the other party a final declaration of disclosure and a current income and expense declaration, executed under penalty of perjury on a form prescribed by the Judicial Council, unless the parties mutually waive the final declaration of disclosure. The commission of perjury on the final declaration of disclosure by a party may be grounds for setting aside the judgment, or any part or parts thereof, pursuant to Chapter 10 (commencing with Section 2120), in addition to any and all other remedies, civil or criminal, that otherwise are available under law for the commission of perjury.
(b)
The final
declaration of disclosure shall include all of the following information:
(1)
All material facts and information regarding the characterization of all assets and liabilities.
(2)
All material facts and information regarding the valuation of all assets that are contended to be community property or in which it is contended the community has an interest.
(3)
All material facts and information regarding the amounts of all obligations that are contended to be community obligations or for which it is contended the community has liability.
(4)
All material facts and information regarding the earnings, accumulations, and expenses of each party that have been set forth in the income and expense declaration.
(c)
In making an order setting aside a judgment for failure to comply with this section, the court may limit the set aside to those portions of the judgment materially
affected by the nondisclosure.
(d)
The parties may stipulate to a mutual waiver of the requirements of subdivision (a) concerning the final declaration of disclosure, by execution of a waiver under penalty of perjury entered into in open court or by separate stipulation. The waiver shall include all of the following representations:
(1)
Both parties have complied with Section 2104 and the preliminary declarations of disclosure have been completed and exchanged.
(2)
Both parties have completed and exchanged a current income and expense declaration, that includes all material facts and information regarding that party’s earnings, accumulations, and expenses.
(3)
Both parties have fully complied with Section 2102 and have fully augmented the preliminary declarations of disclosure, including disclosure of all material facts and information regarding the characterization of all assets and
liabilities, the valuation of all assets that are contended to be community property or in which it is contended the community has an interest, and the amounts of all obligations that are contended to be community obligations or for which it is contended the community has liability.
(4)
The waiver is knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily entered into by each of the parties.
(5)
Each party understands that this waiver does not limit the legal disclosure obligations of the parties, but rather is a statement under penalty of perjury that those obligations have been fulfilled. Each party further understands that noncompliance with those obligations will result in the court setting aside the judgment.
