The statewide form says you may or may not be required to file it. In Tippecanoe County, the county forms are exchanged within 60 days of filing in divorce, or 30 days in paternity and post-decree cases.

What it uses
The Indiana judiciary publishes one statewide default Financial Declaration (online FINDEC tool plus a blank PDF) covering income, expenses, assets and debts, but no statewide rule mandates it; the form itself says a county local rule on financial declarations controls and may require a different form (e.g. Tippecanoe Appendix H / I).
Which form, when
Use the county's local-rule form where the county has a financial-declaration rule; otherwise the statewide judiciary Financial Declaration ('If your county has a rule on financial declarations follow the rule, which may include using a different form', printed on the statewide form). Tippecanoe: Appendix H for dissolution, Appendix I for paternity and post-decree (Tippecanoe County Rules of Family Law).
Filed or exchanged
Statewide form: a discovery tool that 'you may or may not be required to file' (printed on form; discovery under Ind. Trial Rules 26-37). Tippecanoe: mandatory discovery exchanged between parties within 60 days of filing (dissolution) or 30 days (paternity/post-decree), per the form text and Tippecanoe Family Law Rule 6 sanctions.

This is general information, not legal advice. Forms change, so check with the court before you file.
