Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

I have been asked to produce my Financial Affidavit . my husband and I have been separated 7 years. while hospitalized for meningitis I allowed our children to be fostered by my sister-in-law and her husband as my husband lost his parenting rights due to drinking and DCF stepping in. This situation is fine for them and me since I do not have the income to support 2 teenagers. their dad was an abusive alcoholic to me. Now he has filed for divorce. I had started the proceedings prior to my coma but under the advice of my lawyer we let the deadline to finish drop...I felt he was too depressed after my hospitalization to continue right then.Now I can't afford a lawyer and he has started the proceedings again. on this form I am required to submit it asks that I check 1 of 2 options re:children. As they are temporarily fostered until I have the income to support them I am confused as to which of these choices I need to choose. Florida Family Law Procedure
