Florida Form 12.902(k): Joint Waiver of Filing Financial Affidavits

Start with the free official Form 12.902(k)

Florida Courts currently lists Florida Supreme Court Approved Family Law Form 12.902(k), Notice of Joint Verified Waiver of Filing Financial Affidavits, dated October 2023. The official PDF contains four pages: two instruction pages and a two-page notice with separate party declarations and a certificate of service.

What conditions do the Form 12.902(k) instructions list?

The October 2023 instructions say the form should be completed only if all four listed conditions are true: it is executed before an agreement or stipulation that would resolve the pending matter; each party has received the other's fully executed and complete financial affidavit; each party has provided their own affidavit to the other; and both prefer to keep the affidavits private rather than file them with the court.

What information appears on Form 12.902(k)?

1. Use the existing case caption without changing party roles

The notice begins with the judicial circuit, county, case number, division, petitioner, and respondent. The opening sentence then repeats blanks for the petitioner's and respondent's names.

This guide does not choose a court, determine jurisdiction or venue, assign party roles, or decide whether names should match another filing.

2. Read all four fixed acknowledgments before either party signs

The printed notice acknowledges that financial evidence may be necessary in future proceedings; that each party gave the other a fully executed and sworn Form 12.902(b) or 12.902(c), as applicable; that the parties alone retain copies of exchanged affidavits; and that the waiver concerns only the current filing, does not automatically extend to future filings, and may be revoked by either party.

These paragraphs are fixed government text. Sun State does not rewrite them, select the applicable financial-affidavit form, verify an exchange, supply missing facts, or state that an acknowledgment is true.

3. Distinguish exchanging affidavits from filing them with the court

The packet describes parties who have already provided complete, executed financial affidavits to each other but prefer not to file those affidavits with the court. The notice itself is a separate document that the instructions say is filed and served.

4. Review the future-filing and revocation language

After the four numbered paragraphs, the notice says it does not prevent a party from later filing either party's financial affidavit when financial condition is relevant to a pending matter. It also says a party may request an initial or updated affidavit from the other party in the future.

This guide does not predict future proceedings, decide when financial condition is relevant, determine how revocation works, or advise whether anyone should file or request an affidavit.

5. Keep the two perjury declarations separate

Page three displays the petitioner's perjury declaration and signature block. Page four displays a separate declaration and signature block for the respondent. Each area includes printed name, email, address, city/state/ZIP, and telephone number fields.

Sun State does not sign for either party, verify an identity, determine whether the notice is true, or advise a party to make a declaration. Completing fields does not execute the notice.

6. Review every certificate-of-service choice independently

The certificate asks for a service date and displays recipient rows for the petitioner, the petitioner's attorney, the respondent, the respondent's attorney, and another person. Each row offers delivery-method choices. A separate signature block asks for the filing party or attorney's printed name, emails, address, city/state/ZIP, telephone, fax, and Florida Bar number.

This guide does not identify who must receive a copy, select a delivery method, calculate a service date, determine whether counsel should sign, or certify that service occurred.

7. Read the October 2023 filing and service instructions in current context

The packet says a copy of the notice must be filed with the court and served on the other party or attorney. It discusses same-day mailing, email, or hand delivery; postmark timing; e-filing; e-service; Forms 12.914 and 12.915; and Rules 2.516 and 2.525.

Procedures and local requirements can change. Florida Courts' current self-help guidance ↗ says self-represented parties are responsible for current statewide rules, local rules, administrative orders, required documents, and deadlines.

8. Note the packet's nonlawyer instruction and the displayed last page

The instructions say a nonlawyer who helps complete the form must provide Form 12.900(a) and put the nonlawyer's name, address, and telephone number at the bottom of the last page. In the October 2023 PDF reviewed for this guide, the displayed last page ends with the certificate-of-service signer's fields and does not show a separately labeled nonlawyer-assistance block.

This guide does not invent missing fields or tell a filer how to reconcile that text. Confirm the current form and procedure through Florida Courts, a self-help center, the clerk, or a lawyer.
