Family Law Financial Affidavit 12 902 B PDF Details

In family law cases in Florida, especially when financial matters such as alimony, child support, or division of assets and liabilities are involved, parties are often required to fill out financial affidavits. One such form is the Florida Family Law Rules of Procedure Form 12.902(b), known as the Family Law Financial Affidavit (Short Form), designed for individuals whose gross income is under $50,000 per year. This document plays a crucial role in proceedings, providing the court with a detailed overview of a party's financial situation. It requires disclosure of monthly income and expenses across various categories, ranging from salary and wages to child expenses and debts, ensuring all financial aspects are considered in the case. Special instructions accompany the affidavit, guiding how to accurately convert different payment frequencies to monthly amounts and advising on privacy protections for survivors of violence. Completing and submitting this document accurately and on time is pivotal, as it impacts the financial decisions made by the court in family law disputes. The instructions stress the importance of precision in completing the affidavit, including the conversion of income and expenses from varying payment schedules to their monthly equivalents, and outline specific circumstances under which the form may be waived. This affidavit not only affects the outcome of the immediate family law case but also sets a precedent for financial transparency and responsibility in legal matters involving familial relationships and support obligations.
