Financial Affidavit
(If divorced or a divorce action
is pending with the courts)
The courts consider the income and certain expenses of the parties when determining the proper amount of child support to award in a court order. A financial affidavit provides the needed information to accomplish that. Income will be verified so it is important to accurately complete this document. If the parents are divorced or have filed for a divorce (actually completed paperwork and filed it at the courthouse), this form should be used. Otherwise, please refer to the other financial affidavit.
Note: All amounts listed should be converted to monthly figures. Please refer to the conversion chart.

Financial Affidavit
(All others)
The courts consider the income and certain expenses of the parties when determining the proper amount of child support to award in a court order. A financial affidavit provides the needed information to accomplish that. Income will be verified so it is important to accurately complete this document. If the parents were never married, or are married and separated but not divorced and no divorce papers have been filed with the court, or the caretaker/guardian of the child(ren) is not a parent, this affidavit should be completed. For caretaker relatives, the affidavit should be completed for the child(ren)'s income and expenses only since the caretaker relative or guardian's income and expenses are not considered.
Note: All amounts listed should be converted to monthly figures. Please refer to the conversion chart.
