Income & Expense Declaration

Divorce Attorney in Newport Beach, Corona Del Mar, Laguna Beach, Dana Point

What is an Income and Expense Declaration?

An Income and Expense Declaration, or IED, is a pre-printed form that must be filed whenever there are issues of child or spousal support, or attorney fees and costs.  The form requires you to provide detailed information regarding your employment, education, income from all sources and valuation of your property.  The IED also requires you to identify and categorize all of your expenses, including expenses for mortgage and/or rent, healthcare, utilities, insurance and transportation.  The court uses the IED in determining your income and any applicable deductions for the purpose of calculating child and spousal support.  It is important that you accurately and completely fill out this form because the form must be signed under penalty of perjury.

If you are employed as a W-2 employee, you must submit a copy of two of your most recent paychecks along with the IED. If you are self employed, you must provide a profit and loss statement  of your business and tax return documents, at a minimum.
