For California divorce default what should the declaration about cohabitation state?
<p>California family law.</p>

<p>Request to enter default is rejected, with the statement of</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>If both parties are still residing in the same residence then <strong>each
  party</strong> must submit a declaration penalty of perjury they are still
  living in the same residence</p>
</blockquote>

<p>I found a number of how a declaration penalty of perjury should look like, but I'm somewhat of a loss as to what the statement itself should say. I can't find any examples of such either.</p>

<p>I understand should say something to the tune of "I declare that I still live together with my spouse at XXX, CA", but the courts are probably expecting some specific language in such a statement, which is what I'm looking for help with here.</p>

<p>Ask the court clerk if they have a form or specification for what they are requesting.  <em>If they don't, then any unspecified detail probably doesn't matter.</em></p>

<p>For example, if the clerk refused to provide further instructions or information then, based on the note you received, as a layperson I would reply with a notarized paper saying, "Under penalty of perjury I declare that I am still living in the same residence <em>X</em> with <em>Y</em>."  If that turns out to be inadequate the clerk will have to provide some explanation of why, which will give you more information for your next attempt to satisfy the court's requirement.</p>
