What it uses
One statewide Financial Affidavit (JD-FM-6) in short and long versions, chosen by gross annual income and total net assets against $75,000.
Which form, when
Short (JD-FM-6-SHORT) if gross annual income is less than $75,000 AND total net assets are less than $75,000; long (JD-FM-6-LONG) if either is more than $75,000 (printed instructions on each form, under P.B. 25-30). Exactly $75,000 is covered by neither instruction.
Filed or exchanged
Filed: P.B. 25-30(a) (2026 Practice Book, amended eff. Jan. 1, 2025) requires each party to file a sworn statement of 'current income, expenses, assets and liabilities' at least five business days before a hearing on alimony, support or counsel fees and when a dissolution, legal separation, annulment or custody action is scheduled for hearing, and within thirty days before the decree.
