Financial Affidavit
A sworn court form where each spouse lists their income, expenses, assets, and debts in a Florida divorce. It is mandatory in almost every dissolution case and gives the court and the other spouse an honest financial picture. Filing a false affidavit can carry serious consequences because it is signed under oath.
