IN RE ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NUMBER 10 - AFFIDAVIT OF FINANCIAL MEANS
The Supreme Court Committee on Child Support has proposed a new Affidavit of Financial Means. The affidavit, required by Section IV of Administrative Order Number 10, has been revised and updated to provide more pertinent information to the parties and to the courts in matters involving family support than the current affidavit. The last page of the proposed affidavit includes two additions, an "Acknowledgement of Responsibilities and Consequences" for the party submitting the affidavit to sign, and a signature line for the party's attorney to certify that he or she has "reviewed [this] affidavit with [the] client and advised him or her of the importance of providing true, correct, complete answers and the required exhibits."
We are publishing the proposed affidavit for comment. Since it is essentially new, rather than an amended document, attached are both the proposed and the current affidavits, the latter lined-out to indicate that the Committee recommends the entire document be deleted and replaced with the new affidavit. Comments may be made in writing before May 20, 2016, to Stacey Pectol, Clerk, Supreme Court of Arkansas, Attn: Administrative Order Number 10, Justice Building, 625 Marshall Street, Little Rock, Arkansas 72201.
