Hiding assets is an unfortunate problem that plagues some divorce proceedings, although there are some tools that can be used to help prevent this from occurring. The purpose of a financial affidavit is relatively simple, although completing one can be a somewhat involved task. Ultimately, a financial affidavit should help prevent either party from concealing important assets, debts or financial information.
This type of affidavit will usually include all of the debts that an individual owes for both individual and joint accounts. These debts may be from a credit card, a car loan, a mortgage or a myriad of other options. Also included are important assets that are owned, again both joint and individual. In addition to listing your expenses, income should be recorded as accurately as possible.
Accuracy is of critical importance in a financial affidavit for divorcing New Jersey couples, as the financial status of either party influences various payments. If a person’s debts and expenses greatly outweigh his or her income without the help of their soon-to-be-ex, it may be easy to discern that temporary support is warranted. On the other hand, if one spouse is requesting alimony that the other finds inappropriate, an affidavit can possibly reveal that it’s not actually needed. Although other factors during a divorce can influence spousal support payments, without the most accurate financial picture available, it’s possible that payments could be set at an inappropriate amount or that they could be awarded when there is no real financial need.
