Pursuant to Colorado Rule of Civil Procedure 16.2, the parties in a dissolution of marriage (divorce) case are required to provide to the other party certain mandatory disclosures including, the Sworn Financial Statement. That rule further states that “[p]arties to domestic relations cases owe each other and the court a duty of full and honest disclosure of all facts that materially affect their rights and interests and those of the children involved in the case.” Additionally, those disclosures must be provided to the other party without waiting for the other party to request them. Thus, you must provide the Sworn Financial Statement to a party even if they live out of state. The State Form JDF 1111 has a Certificate of Service in which you will need to certify that you provided that document to the opposing party and by what means it was sent.
