One statewide Financial Statement in a short (CJD 301S) and long (CJD 301L) version, chosen by the filer's own annual income.
Which form, when
Long form if the party's income equals or exceeds $75,000 a year, short form if under $75,000, unless the court orders otherwise (Supp. Prob. & Fam. Ct. Rule 401(a); printed on both forms). A 1997 committee note says it is each party's own income, not combined.
