GUIDELINE

Guideline for Drafting an Income Affidavit Relating to Child Custody:

Introduction: Begin by explaining the purpose of the income affidavit, which is to provide a truthful and accurate account of the affiant's financial situation as it pertains to child custody proceedings.

Affiant Information: Include the affiant's full name, address, contact details, and their relationship to the child (e.g., parent, guardian).

Child's Information: Specify the child's full name, date of birth, and any relevant custody case or court reference numbers.

Financial Information: Provide a detailed breakdown of the affiant's income, including sources such as employment, self-employment, investments, and government assistance. Include income amounts, frequency, and any supporting documents, such as pay stubs or tax returns.

Expenses: Outline the affiant's monthly expenses, including housing, utilities, childcare, education, healthcare, and any other significant costs.

Debts and Obligations: Include information about outstanding debts, such as loans, credit card balances, and child support payments for other dependents, if applicable.

Assets: List all significant assets, such as real estate, vehicles, savings accounts, investments, and personal property.

Other Financial Resources: Disclose any additional sources of financial support, including spousal support or family assistance.

Sworn Statement: Include a statement in which the affiant swears or affirms under penalty of perjury that the information provided is accurate and complete to the best of their knowledge.

Signature and Notarization: The affidavit should be signed and dated by the affiant in the presence of a notary public or other authorized officer. The notary will then acknowledge the affiant's signature.

Common Mistakes to Avoid:

Incomplete Information: Ensure that all financial details are provided accurately, leaving no significant income, expense, or asset unreported.

False Statements: Avoid providing false information or exaggerating financial figures, as this can have legal consequences.

Failure to Update: If there are changes in your financial situation, promptly update the income affidavit to reflect the new information.

Lack of Notarization: Always have the affidavit notarized to validate its authenticity and legal standing.

Missing Deadlines: If the affidavit is required by a court or specific deadline, make sure to submit it within the specified timeframe.

Income affidavits relating to child custody are used in legal proceedings to assess a parent or guardian's financial ability to provide for a child's well-being. By following these guidelines and avoiding common mistakes, you can ensure that the income affidavit is a credible and valuable document in child custody proceedings, contributing to the court's decision-making process regarding the child's best interests.
