How Financial Disclosures Can Make or Break Your Florida Divorce

How Financial Disclosures Can Make or Break Your Florida Divorce

In a Florida divorce, your financial disclosures aren’t just paperwork they’re the backbone of your case. Incomplete or inaccurate disclosures can lead to penalties or unfair settlements.

What Are Financial Disclosures?
They include your income, expenses, assets, and debts. Both parties are required to file them under oath.

Deadlines You Can’t Miss
In most cases, you have a short deadline from the date of service to file. Miss it, and the judge can impose sanctions.

Why Accuracy Matters
Failing to disclose assets can lead to losing them, or worse, contempt charges.

Common Disclosure Mistakes

• Forgetting to include bank accounts with small balances

• Undervaluing assets

• Not updating changes during the case

How to Get It Right
If you’re pro se, consider having a lawyer review your disclosures before filing.
