(11/20)
When should this form be used?
This form should be used when you are involved in a family law case which requires a financial affidavit
and your individual gross income is $50,000 OR MORE per year unless:
(1) You are filing a simplified dissolution of marriage under rule 12.105 and both parties have waived
the filing of financial affidavits;
(2) you have no minor children, no support issues, and have filed a written settlement agreement
disposing of all financial issues; or
(3) the court lacks jurisdiction to determine any financial issues.
This form should be typed or printed in black ink. After completing this form, you should sign the form.
You should then file this document with the clerk of the circuit court in the county where the petition
was filed and keep a copy for your records.
What should I do next?
A copy of this form must be served on the other party in your case within 45 days of being served with
the petition, if it is not served on him or her with your initial papers. Service must be in accordance with
Florida Rule of Judicial Administration 2.516.
A copy of this form must be filed with the court and served on the other party or his or her attorney. The
copy you are serving to the other party must be either mailed, e-mailed, or hand-delivered to the opposing
party or his or her attorney on the same day indicated on the certificate of service. If it is mailed, it must
be postmarked on the date indicated in the certificate of service.
Where can I look for more information?
Before proceeding, you should read “General Information for Self-Represented Litigants” found at the
beginning of these forms. The words that are in bold underline in these instructions are defined there.
For further information, see Florida Family Law Rule of Procedure 12.285.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING E-FILING
The Florida Rules of Judicial Administration now require that all petitions, pleadings, and documents be
filed electronically except in certain circumstances. Self-represented litigants may file petitions or other
pleadings or documents electronically; however, they are not required to do so. If you choose to file
your pleadings or other documents electronically, you must do so in accordance with Florida Rule of
Judicial Administration 2.525, and you must follow the procedures of the judicial circuit in which you file.
The rules and procedures should be carefully read and followed.

(11/20)
IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING E-SERVICE ELECTION
After the initial service of process of the petition or supplemental petition by the Sheriff or certified
process server, the Florida Rules of Judicial Administration now require that all documents required or
permitted to be served on the other party must be served by electronic mail (e-mail) except in certain
circumstances. You must strictly comply with the format requirements set forth in the Florida Rules of
Judicial Administration. If you elect to participate in electronic service, which means serving or receiving
pleadings by electronic mail (e-mail), or through the Florida Courts E-Filing Portal, you must review
Florida Rule of Judicial Administration 2.516. You may find this rule at www.flcourts.org through the link
to the Rules of Judicial Administration provided under either Family Law Forms: Getting Started, or Rules
of Court in the A-Z Topical Index.
SELF-REPRESENTED LITIGANTS MAY SERVE DOCUMENTS BY E-MAIL; HOWEVER, THEY ARE NOT
REQUIRED TO DO SO. If a self-represented litigant elects to serve and receive documents by email, the
procedures must always be followed once the initial election is made.
To serve and receive documents by e-mail, you must designate your e-mail addresses by using the
Designation of Current Mailing and E-mail Address, Florida Supreme Court Approved Family Law Form
12.915, and you must provide your e-mail address on each form on which your signature appears.
Please CAREFULLY read the rules and instructions for: Certificate of Service (General), Florida Supreme
Court Approved Family Law Form 12.914; Designation of Current Mailing and E-mail Address, Florida
Supreme Court Approved Family Law Form 12.915; and Florida Rule of Judicial Administration 2.516.
Special notes...
If you want to keep your address confidential because you have been found by a judge to be the victim of
sexual battery, aggravated child abuse, aggravated stalking, harassment, aggravated battery, or domestic
violence do not enter the address, telephone, and fax information at the bottom of this form. Instead,
file Request for Confidential Filing of Address, Florida Supreme Court Approved Family Law Form
12.980(h).
The affidavit must be completed using monthly income and expense amounts. If you are paid or your
bills are due on a schedule which is not monthly, you must convert those amounts. Hints are provided
below for making these conversions.
Instructions for Florida Family Law Rules of Procedure Form 12.902(c), Family Law Financial Affidavit (Long Form)
(11/20)
Hourly - If you are paid by the hour, you may convert your income to monthly as follows:
Hourly amount x Hours worked per week = Weekly amount
Weekly amount x 52 Weeks per year = Yearly amount
Yearly amount ÷ 12 Months per year = Monthly Amount
Daily - If you are paid by the day, you may convert your income to monthly as follows:
Daily amount x Days worked per week = Weekly amount
Weekly amount x 52 Weeks per year = Yearly amount
Yearly amount ÷ 12 Months per year = Monthly Amount
Weekly - If you are paid by the week, you may convert your income to monthly as follows:
Weekly amount x 52 Weeks per year = Yearly amount
Yearly amount ÷ 12 Months per year = Monthly Amount
Bi-weekly - If you are paid every two weeks, you may convert your income to monthly as follows:
Bi-weekly amount x 26 = Yearly amount
Yearly amount ÷ 12 Months per year = Monthly Amount
Semi-monthly - If you are paid twice per month, you may convert your income to monthly as
follows:
Semi-monthly amount x 2 = Monthly Amount
Expenses may be converted in the same manner.
Remember, a person who is NOT an attorney is called a nonlawyer. If a nonlawyer helps you fill out these
forms, that person must give you a copy of a Disclosure from Nonlawyer, Florida Family Law Rules of
Procedure Form 12.900(a), before he or she helps you. A nonlawyer helping you fill out these forms also
must put his or her name, address, and telephone number on the bottom of the last page of every form
he or she helps you complete.
