While it’s always a good idea to know your financial status, for court-related business it’s sometimes required. One example is when you are involved in a divorce case in which money or support is an issue, such as alimony, child support, attorney’s fees, or division of property. If you are a resident of Massachusetts involved in a case like this, you’re going to need to fill out Form CJ.D 301 or the Massachusetts Financial Statement. The specific version of the form you’ll fill out depends on your annual income – if it is less than $75,000.00 you’ll fill out the Massachusetts short form CJ.D 301S, while if it’s over that amount you’ll fill out the long form CJ.D 301S today and remember the old adage, “Knowledge is Power!”
