Expert: Dan Bachert - 6/27/2009

Question
On March 5, 2009, you told Sarah that a financial affidavit in a modification did not have to include a subsequent spouse's income (or expenses); however, you did not elaborate on this.  Will you please tell me the Florida Family Law Rule or case law that states/supports this statement?  I cannot find anything on point, and I really need the specifics for where this would be found.  Thank you for a prompt response, if possible.

Answer
Hi Melissa, see Florida Statute 61.30.

I hope this information was helpful to you.
This answer is based solely on the information you have provided in your question and as always, I would advise that you arrange for an in person consultation with an attorney from my firm or another Family Law attorney familiar with Florida Family Law who can analyze the specific facts and circumstances of the case more closely to better advise you.

Sincerely,
