Financial affidavit analysis · Florida example
The form everyone signs. Almost nobody reads it line by line.
Florida’s long-form financial affidavit runs to fifteen pages and it is sworn under oath. It is also where the support number comes from, because the figures on it feed the guideline calculation, and because the lines that get left blank are the same lines every time. Florida is the specimen here — pick your own state in the picker below, and this is the depth your state’s reading goes to. Below is the real form. Hover or tap any highlighted line to see what that line is asking for and what it is actually testing.
This is a copy, not the form itself. It follows Florida Family Law Rules of Procedure Form 12.902(c) so you can read it here — when you file, use the official one from the court. Where the real form lists a long run of similar lines, we have grouped them together so the whole document fits on a screen. Every number in the worked example is made up. This is self-help material, not legal or accounting advice: explaining what a form asks for is not an opinion about your case, an audit, or a finding that anyone did anything wrong.
Financial affidavit · all 51 jurisdictions
Your state’s version of this form — and what it doesn’t ask.
Almost every state makes you swear to your finances, and almost none of them do it the same way. We mapped the form for all 51 jurisdictions. Thirty-nine have a statewide form. Nine don’t. Three have nothing to file at all. And in many states the main form takes your income and never asks what you own. Pick your state below.
Four rows for every jurisdiction: what the form is called, whether it is filed or exchanged, what it does and does not cover, and the deadline. Where we could not verify something, the card says so rather than guessing — a blank revision date is a finding, not an oversight. Underneath the card, your state’s own form is read line by line, the same way the Florida form above is. All of it is free and none of it asks for an account.
