An Affidavit of Financial Standing is also referred to as a 'Financial Affidavit'. In Mecklenburg and surrounding counties, this is a key form in domestic cases. It is used to determine child support, post-separation support and alimony. The Affidavit consists of several sections that detail a party’s monthly income and deductions, shared family expenses (mortgage or rent, utilities, grocery expenses, car payment, etc.), individual expenses (clothing, grooming, toiletries, entertainment, etc.), and itemizes debts to include the monthly payment being made towards each debt. In addition, documents must be produced which support the figures reflected on the Affidavit.
