Legal Question in Family Law in Massachusetts

Currently unemployed and determination hasn't been reached yet to receive unemployment benefits and I have to fill out a financial statement for court to modify child support. Since unemployment benefits haven't been determined or paid yet, do I enter $0 for wages?

Yes. Then, you can explain to the Court why you have zero income. If the determination is made before the hearing, then you need to update your information with the Court. You would need to file a new Financial Statement Form.
