Download Options for the Florida Family Law Financial Affidavit
In Florida, divorcing spouses are required to complete and exchange a Family Law Financial Affidavit, either the Short Form (Form 12.902(b)) or the Long Form (Form 12.902(c)), depending on their annual income. These forms are official court documents and must be completed accurately and submitted on time during the divorce process.
There are several ways to download, fill out, and update these forms, but it’s important to use the correct and most recent version to ensure that your financial disclosures are accepted by the court and easily reviewed by the other party.
Use the Correct Version of the Form
The Florida Supreme Court regularly reviews and updates official forms. As of now, the most current versions of the Family Law Financial Affidavit can be downloaded directly from the Florida Courts website:
Form 12.902(b) – Short Form (for individuals earning less than $50,000 annually)
Form 12.902(c) – Long Form (for individuals earning $50,000 or more annually)
Be sure to look for the revision date at the bottom of the form (e.g., “Rev. 10/21”) to confirm you’re using the most current version. Using an outdated form can cause confusion, result in additional legal fees, or delay your case if information needs to be re-entered or resubmitted.
File Format Matters
While these forms are available in fillable PDF format, they do not include automatic calculations. All totals, subtotals, and percentages must be manually calculated using a calculator or spreadsheet. If you are filling out the form electronically, it’s a good idea to save your work regularly and keep a backup copy.
It’s also important that both parties use the same version of the form, especially during mediation or settlement discussions, to avoid discrepancies and ensure consistency in financial comparisons.
Final Tip
To save time and frustration, download your form directly from the official Florida Courts website. Avoid using unofficial versions from third-party sources, which may be outdated or altered. Completing the correct version accurately the first time helps ensure your case moves forward efficiently and fairly.
