JDF 1125 SC is Colorado’s Mandatory Disclosure form, designated Form 35.1. It lists the documents each party must provide under C.R.C.P. 16.2(e)(2) in a domestic relations case. It is the checklist, not a form you fill in with figures.

Do I file JDF 1125 with the court?

The form itself says no. Its header note reads: "These disclosure forms are not to be filed with the court, except as may be ordered pursuant to C.R.C.P. 16.2." The disclosures are exchanged with the other party. What gets filed is JDF 1104, the Certificate of Compliance confirming you sent them.

How does JDF 1125 relate to JDF 1111 and JDF 1104?

JDF 1125 is the list of what must be disclosed. JDF 1111, the Sworn Financial Statement (Form 35.2), is item (a) on that list. JDF 1104 is the Certificate of Compliance you file to tell the court the package was sent. Three different jobs.

Does every item apply to every case?

No, and the form is specific about it. Real estate, personal debt, retirement plans and insurance do not apply to post-decree motions unless the court orders it. Child care and extraordinary children’s expenses apply only if child support is an issue. The form also states that mandatory disclosures do not apply to post-decree motions raising only decision-making and parenting time, unless ordered.

What counts as an income source?

The form is broad: employment, investment, government programs, gifts, trust distributions, prizes, and income from every other source — for the current and prior calendar year. Parents commonly disclose wages and stop there.

When are the disclosures due?

Timing is governed by C.R.C.P. 16.2(e). The form does not state a deadline on its face, and deadlines can also be set in your own case, so check the rule and any order in your case rather than relying on a general figure.

JDF 1125: Colorado Mandatory Disclosure (Form 35.1)

The exact document list. Fourteen categories, and the ones people forget are the expensive ones.

JDF 1125 SC is Colorado's Mandatory Disclosure form, designated Form 35.1. It sets out what each party must provide under C.R.C.P. 16.2(e)(2). It is a checklist rather than a form you complete with figures — the figures go on JDF 1111, which is item (a) on this very list.

Exchanged, not filed

The form's own header note reads: “These disclosure forms are not to be filed with the court, except as may be ordered pursuant to C.R.C.P. 16.2.” The package goes to the other party. What you file is JDF 1104, the Certificate of Compliance saying you sent it. Confusing the two is the most common procedural mistake in this lane.

What each party must provide

(a) Sworn Financial Statement
A completed and signed Sworn Financial Statement using the Supreme Court approved form (Form 35.2).
(b) Income tax returns — most recent 3 years
Personal and business federal returns for the three years before the petition or post-decree motion was filed. Business returns cover any business in which a party has an interest entitling them to a copy.
(c) Personal financial statements — last 3 years
All personal financial statements, statements of assets or liabilities, and credit or loan applications prepared in the last three years.
(d) Business financial statements — last 3 years
For every business where a party has access to financial statements: the last three fiscal years, all year-to-date statements, and the same periodic statements for the prior two years.
(e) Real estate documents
Title documents and all documents stating the value of real property in which a party has a personal or business interest.
Does not apply to post-decree motions unless the court orders it.
(f) Personal debt
All documents creating debt, plus the most recent statements showing outstanding balance and payment terms.
Does not apply to post-decree motions unless the court orders it.
(g) Investments
Most recent statements or other documents identifying each investment in which a party has a personal or business interest, and stating its current value.
(h) Employment benefits
Most recent statements or documents identifying each employment benefit and stating its current value.
(i) Retirement plans
Most recent documents identifying each retirement plan the party is a beneficiary of, its current value, and the Summary Plan Descriptions.
Does not apply to post-decree motions unless the court orders it.
(j) Bank and financial institution accounts
Most recent statements identifying each account at banks and other financial institutions, and stating the current value.
(k) Income documentation
For every income source in the current and prior calendar year — employment, investment, government programs, gifts, trust distributions, prizes and any other source — pay stubs, a current income statement, and the final income statement.
(l) Employment and education-related child care
Documents showing average monthly employment-related child care expense, including child care tied to education and job search.
Applies only if child support is an issue.
(m) Insurance documentation
All life, health and property insurance policies and current documents showing beneficiaries, coverage, cost (including the portion payable for the children’s health insurance) and payment schedule.
Does not apply to post-decree motions unless ordered.
(n) Extraordinary children’s expenses
Documents showing the average monthly expense for all recurring extraordinary children’s expenses.
Applies only if child support is an issue.

The form also states that unless the court orders otherwise, these mandatory disclosures do not apply to post-decree motions raising only decision-making and parenting time.

Relevant Colorado law

The statutes and appellate decisions below are the ones Colorado courts actually apply here. Educational orientation only — not legal advice. Read the source before you rely on it.

Statutes

C.R.S. § 14-10-115 — Child Support Guidelines; Determination of Income
Establishes Colorado’s child support guidelines and schedule of basic child support obligations, calculating support from the parents’ combined adjusted gross income and subject to the parents’ ability to pay.

Key cases

In re Marriage of Evans, 504 P.3d 988 (Colo. App. 2021)
Where a parent concealed income or an asset during the divorce, the court may reopen the matter under C.R.C.P. 16.2(e)(10) and recalculate child support on the parents’ true combined income; nondisclosure does not shield a higher earner from an accurate obligation.
People ex rel. J.R.T. v. Martinez, 70 P.3d 474 (Colo. 2003)
When deciding whether to impute income to an allegedly underemployed parent under C.R.S. § 14-10-115, the court first asks whether the parent is shirking a child-support obligation by unreasonably foregoing higher-paying work; merely being fired is not automatically “voluntary underemployment” — the court weighs the reasonableness of the parent’s efforts to find comparable work.
