Form 13 is a mandatory financial statement for support-related cases in Ontario family court
A Form 13 Financial Statement is a legal document specifically designed for cases involving child and spousal support in Ontario’s family court system. This essential form provides a detailed breakdown of an individual’s financial situation, focusing exclusively on income and expense information needed to calculate support payments.
- Required for all child and spousal support proceedings
- Focuses solely on income and monthly expenses
- Simpler than Form 13.1, which covers property division
- Must be completed with accurate, current financial information
Understanding the difference between Form 13 and Form 13.1 is crucial – while Form 13.1 covers comprehensive financial matters including property division, Form 13 deals strictly with support-related finances.
