More details to this question:
I'm a US citizen and am planning to file for permanent residency for my mother. I can't provide her with affidavit of support. She has a friend who's willing to provide her with affidavit of support. Does that mean that I don't fill out affidavit of support form at all or do I need to fill it out and show income as 0$? I'm a stay at home mom, but my husband's income is sufficient. He's not willing to carry a responsibility for my mothers financial needs.

Regardless of whether you have income or assets, you must fill out the affidavit of support. If you have no income, you can explain such. Your husband is not obligated to support your mother. Your mother's friend can provide her with a cosponsor's affidavit of support.
