Florida Mandatory Disclosure and Financial Affidavits: Walk In Organized
FamilyCourtHelp is an independent educational platform. It is not a court, law firm, government agency, or government partner. We organize and link to publicly available resources published by courts and government agencies. Official requirements may change. Always confirm current requirements with the applicable court or clerk.
Florida family cases involving money run on mandatory disclosure: within 45 days of service, both sides must exchange a defined list of financial documents, things like tax returns, pay stubs, and account statements, and file a financial affidavit.
Two affidavit versions exist. The short form, 12.902(b), is for individual gross annual income under 50,000 dollars, and the long form, 12.902(c), for income at or above that level or more complex finances. The certificate of compliance, 12.932, is how you confirm to the court that the exchange happened.

Frequently asked questions
Which financial affidavit do I file?
File the short form 12.902(b) if your individual gross annual income is under 50,000 dollars, and the long form 12.902(c) at or above that amount. When finances are complex, the long form is the safer choice.
What happens if the other side will not disclose?
You can move to compel disclosure, and courts can impose sanctions. Keep your own disclosure complete and on time regardless, because credibility with the judge matters.
Free co-parent text messaging with evidence organization and behavior pattern tools
Preparing for a family court conversation often starts with finding the right information. Free co-parent text messaging, evidence organization and behavior pattern tools help you connect selected messages, supporting records and dated observations so you can review the details and prepare questions for your attorney.
Free co-parent text messaging
Keep everyday discussions about your child's schedule, school and appointments in a time-stamped message history. A clear question and the replies that follow can be easier to review than scattered screenshots. Include the surrounding conversation when selecting messages for your records. Free direct text messaging gives you a starting point; optional calls and other tools have separate plan details.
Evidence Builder for case preparation
Organize selected messages, notes and supporting files with dates, clear titles and source descriptions. Keep original files available and distinguish what a record says from your explanation of it. Evidence Builder helps you assemble exhibits and find the material you want to discuss. It does not submit evidence to a court or determine whether any item will be accepted.
Review behavior patterns in context
Use behavior pattern tools to review communication over time and connect dated observations to their supporting records. Response timing, unanswered questions and member-added notes can provide starting points for your review. Check automated findings against the full conversation, including later replies or explanations. The tools do not establish intent, diagnose a parent or replace an attorney's assessment of your circumstances.
Direct text messaging is free. Optional tools, calls, reports and downloads may require a paid plan. Review the current pricing for what is included. See plans and pricing
