File Name
The file name is a required field. A good file name will allow you to search and locate this file.
File Type
For pre-decree cases, the asset data entry form will include fields to furnish pre-marital value. The printed form will include an extra field for each asset on the asset list to show the pre-marital value and list it as an asset under the separate assets section.
For Post-Decree or APR cases, you can remove the Separate Assets section, and enter assets under the appropriate asset category. You may also omit the entire Assets section from the data entry form and the printed Sworn Financial Statement.
Parties
The party information is always required.
The Affiant is the person filing the Sworn Financial Statement. Enter the affiant's full name and type.
Enter the other party's full name and type.
Without a subscription, the party information is locked once you pay for the file. Make sure you enter the correct information.
Case Details
This section is optional with an active subscription. Without a subscription, the case details are required, and are locked once you pay for the file. Make sure you enter the correct information.
Enter the case number and case type. If the case type is Parental Responsibilities, enter the children names as well. Select the court from the list. Optionally, enter the division and courtroom.
Representation
This section is only available for law-firms.
If you represent the affiant, select the affiant from the list. If you are a mediator, select the Mediation option. The third option, the Other Party, should not be used except in very special cases, and is likely to generate a Sworn Financial Statement with some inconsistencies. If you represent the other party, you probably need to switch the parties.
Select an attorney from the list, or select Party Without Attorney for mediation. If you need to add an attorney, press the Add New Attorney button. You may also update attorney information by clicking the Attorney Management link. However, adding or modifying attorneys is only available for account administrators, so if you don't see these options, contact one of your account administrators for assistance.
