Verified current as of July 10, 2026

This form is used to ask a California court to recognize and enforce a tribal court's decision about dividing retirement accounts or deferred compensation between divorcing spouses. Couples going through divorce use this form when a tribal court has already made a division order and they want California to officially approve it so the retirement plan division can take effect.
