(FSJN)File and serve a Financial Statement

File and serve a Financial Statement

You'll need

If you're required to complete a Financial Statement, then you must complete this step at least seven days before your JCC.

You might need to file and serve a Financial Statement (Form F8) and related documents before your Judicial Case Conference (JCC). A Financial Statement tells the judge or master about your:

  • income,
  • expenses,
  • assets, and
  • debts.
A Financial Statement is often required if either you or the other person is trying to claim child or spousal support. If you're not sure if you need one, see Complete a Supreme Court Financial Statement (Form F8).

If you don't need to complete a Financial Statement, skip to the next step.

File your Financial Statement

At least seven days before the JCC, file your Financial Statement and any attachments at the same Supreme Court registry where your JCC will be held.

Serve your Financial Statement by ordinary service

You can serve your Financial Statement and any attachments by ordinary service. This means that the documents can be:

  • dropped off at a business or residential address,
  • sent by regular mail,
  • faxed with a Fax Cover Sheet (Form F95), or
  • emailed.

Which method should you use?

The method you use will depend on the type of information the other person listed in their address for service on their own court documents. You can only serve a document to an address they've listed.

It might also depend on how much time you have until your scheduled JCC. The other person must receive the documents at least 30 days before your JCC, and some methods take longer than others.

The other person must receive the documents at least seven days before your JCC.

A document that's emailed, faxed, or left at a person's address for service is considered served on that day if it's served at or before 4 pm on a business day (Monday to Friday). If it's left after 4 pm or on a Saturday, Sunday, or holiday, it's considered served on the next business day.

A mailed document is considered served one week later on the same day of the week as the day it was sent. If that day is a Saturday, Sunday, or holiday, it's considered served on the next business day.
