FAQ
We previously wrote here about the three "musts" for an affidavit or declaration in Florida: it must be based on personal knowledge, it must contain facts as would be admissible in evidence, and it must demonstrate the affiant's competency to testify to the matters stated.
Rule 12.285 of Florida's Family Law Rules of Procedure was also recently amended to provide more circumstances under which the parties can forgo filing financial affidavits. The amended rule states that the parties can mutually agree to NOT file a financial affidavit by filing a joint verified waiver.
A financial affidavit is a sworn statement of your income, expenses, assets and liabilities. The Florida Supreme Court has prescribed a form for the affidavit and it is one of the many Supreme Court forms developed for divorce and family law cases.
The purpose of the financial affidavit is to determine the income, assets, liabilities, and expenses of each party, including any expenses for minor children the parties have in common or minor children from prior relationships.

Moreover, Florida Statutes Section 61.13 (2), the Child Support Guidelines Worksheet spells out a detailed schedule that shall be applied to the combined net income to determine the minimum child support need for each child.
The Florida statutes contain a provision that extends child support until your child reaches the age of 19. If your child has not graduated high school by his or her 18th birthday, child support will not end at 18 but instead will continue until graduation.
Child support guidelines consider: The income of both parents. The child's health care and child care costs. The standard needs for the child. A list of support amounts based on the child's age and net income of the parents is in the Florida law - standard needs table.
FLORIDA'S BASIC SUPPORT AMOUNT The basic child support amount for a single child in Florida is $74 where the supporting parent earns a minimum wage/salary of $650.
