Questions people ask
What is a financial affidavit in a divorce?
The short answer
A financial affidavit is a sworn statement of each spouse's income, expenses, assets and liabilities, filed in a Florida divorce on a form the court publishes. Accurate figures depend on having the statements, titles and records behind them.
The longer answer
Because it is sworn, the affidavit is only as good as the paper underneath it. Every figure should trace to a statement, a pay record, a title or an appraisal. Having those originals in one known place is the difference between filling the form in an evening and spending two weeks hunting. Your attorney will tell you which form applies and how to complete it; we hold the records it rests on.
