Release Notes for Version 8.02 Build 360, released February 21, 2006

In this release we focused on improvements for the state-specific financial affidavits for New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania.

1. New Jersey Case Information Statement.
We added the Case Information Statement for New Jersey. Like all the state-specific financial affidavits, this is available only on the Lawyer tab.

2. Pennsylvania Inventory & Appraisement.
In Pennsylvania, we made numerous changes to the financial forms: clarified headings on the Inventory & Appraisement; enabled entry of single current date and date-of-separation date to apply to all assets; removed "X" box to carry alimony pendente lite to calculators; added to Melzer calculation the option to specify that the mortgage will be divided in thirds (husband, wife, or child) or in half (husband, wife), or in any other percent; added section to Case & Assumptions for less-common guideline calculator fields, to enter them there. We have also improved the carries to PA guidelines from Income & Expense section.

3. Financial Affidavit.
The generic financial affidavit now prints only lines with data. (We have added an option to print the lines without data as well.)

4. Lawyer Tab / Pensions.
On the Lawyer tab, for Pensions, we added interest rate.

5. Lawyer Tab / Major Expenses.
On the Lawyer tab, for Major Expenses, we added a "More Info" screen.

6. Connecticut affidavit.
On the Connecticut affidavit, we added more characters to "Insurance" field

7. New York Net Worth.
On the New York Net Worth Statement, we made numerous changes to the financial forms: we added "add another" lines for several additional topics; we added an option to enable each residence's expenses and utilities to be displayed separately; major expenses now do not require start year and # years to be entered; we added a section to Case & Assumptions for less-common guideline calculator fields, to enter them there; we added text lines on face of Net Worth statement to clarify mortgage expenses, baby-sitting and day care expenses.

8. Footnotes.
Footnotes now appear on the Spending Report. Footnotes were not printing on some lines of the generic affidavit. This is now fixed.

9. Poverty Guideline.
We updated poverty guideline amounts that affect the child support guideline calculations in several states.

10. Financial Affidavit.
On the generic financial affidavit, the wrong number was appearing for FICA. That is now fixed.

11. Alimony Payer.
On the Alimony Breakeven and Alimony Calculator, if an alimony payer has not been selected, now a screen appears to that effect. (Before it could hang the system.)

12. Equalization Payment.
On the Property Division screen, we added an equalization amount to that screen, and an option to print equalization payment on the Marital Property report. We also changed the Equalization payment screen to reflect marital property. Previously, it was oriented to marital+separate property.

13. Alimony Present Value.
We changed the Alimony Present Value calculation to reflect the present value of the after-tax value of the payments.
