Common Uses
A financial affidavit is most often used in legal proceedings pertaining to alimony, child support/custody, divorce, dissolution, or separation of marriages/partnerships. It is also typically required when an individual requests to waive court and legal fees.
By State
In most states, the appropriate judicial court provides an official financial affidavit that can be used to disclose a person’s finances in divorces, separations, or child support cases.
In some states, the individual’s income level and the type of court case will determine which affidavit to use. Sometimes affidavit forms are provided on a county basis instead of statewide.
It’s recommended to verify with the court that has jurisdiction over the case to ensure the correct form is used.
