    Hi. I am in the process of getting a Judicial Separation and will be lodging my Affidavit of Means soon. My girlfriend will be moving in soon and I was wondering will the money she is contributing to the house be factored into my Affidavit of Means assuming she is living there when I submit?

    The affidavit of means refers to current income and expenditures.
    To my mind this would exclude potential future income, clarify with a professional however.

    I guess you're asking because you're anticipating a request for lots of maintenance from your ex?
    My husband went through that with his child's mother and while his solicitor only asked him about his own personal earnings & outgoings for his affidavit of means (which the judge didn't even bother looking at anyway) in court, the judge asked him very directly who he lives with, and when he answered that he lives with me, the judge asked him if I work, and then implied that if he's married to someone with a job, he should be able to "get his hands on" more money than he was currently paying.
    My opinion on your situation is that unless you're married to your new partner, she has no liability for any of your responsibilities or debts, so I wouldn't be implicating her on any affidavit of means - keep it simple.
