Q: Establishing paternity case. If I was never married to ex is it still mandatory to provide long form financial affidavit
I have already provided, Credit card, Bank statements, W2s But my lawyer is also asking for a credit report. Everything I read on. This law states that it pertains to divorce or dissolution of marriage.
A: Because a paternity case involves child support a financial affidavit is required. Long or short form depends on your level of income.
A: A financial affidavit is required in paternity cases. The long form financial affidavit is required if your individual gross income is $50,000 or more per year. If your gross income is less than $50,000, you can use the short form financial affidavit.
