The Georgia Domestic Relations Financial Affidavit (also called “DRFA”) is a standard form used by the Courts in all family law cases. The purpose of the DRFA is to summarize your individual current income, assets, and expenses. It is used to ensure full financial disclosure and is also used to determine any child support obligation. You can either type in your information or hand-write it on the DRFA. The person completing the form is the “affiant” and the form should reflect your individual current financial situation. This DRFA will be made under oath; you are swearing to tell the truth based on the information contained in the Affidavit. After you fully complete the form, do not sign it until you are with a notary. Do not leave blank spaces on the form, if something is not applicable enter “n/a” or “$0.00.” The figures should be good-faith numbers on your current finances. Use averages whenever possible, but if you are unsure, put in estimates and note that it is an estimate. Y
