Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

Re: Divorce

If you are currently making no income, put zero on the financial affidavit. If that changes before your divorce is final, you are required to file a new, amended financial affidavit with the new information. In some cases, many financial affidavits are filed as income changes over the time that the couple is in divorce court.

Under divorce law, you are each usually responsible for one-half of the debt you incurred since you've been married, and the judge usually splits the debts and assets roughly in half. Of course, outside of divorce court, the person responsible is the person whose name is on the debt, and that's whose credit is at risk.

Don't worry about how the financial affidavit affects your son and the child support. You seem like the kind of guy who will do what he has to to make sure his son is taken care of. That's really what matters. Money's not the most important thing, especially when it comes to kids. My kids have been on cruises, traveled across the country and beyond, eaten at some of the best restaurants, and stayed at some fantastic hotels, but what they really seem to remember is throwing the football around in the back yard.
