The Illinois Financial Affidavit (Family & Divorce Cases) is a legal document used in family and divorce cases in the state of Illinois. It is used to provide financial information, such as income, assets, liabilities, and living expenses, to the court. The affidavit is a sworn statement by the party filing it and must be signed and notarized. There are two types of Illinois Financial Affidavit (Family & Divorce Cases): the Short Form and the Long Form. The Short Form is a shorter version of the affidavit that is used for uncontested cases and is usually filed along with a settlement agreement. The Long Form is used for contested cases and contains more detailed financial information. Both the Short Form and the Long Form require the party filing the affidavit to provide information about income, assets, liabilities, and living expenses. The affidavit is used by the court to determine the ability of the parties to pay child support, spousal support, and other financial obligations.
