Affidavit (Form F30) |
An Affidavit (Form F30) is a document that states facts that you swear under oath or affirm to be true in front of a lawyer, notary public, or commissioner of oaths. For more information about what to put into an affidavit, see the fact sheet Checklist of information to include in an affidavit or present in court. Your affidavit must include all the information that is relevant to your application or the order you are asking for. Our descriptions are guides only and may not include all the information you need. Feel free to add more information if your case requires it. You would use this form in the following circumstances:
|
Affidavit — Desk Order Divorce (Form F38) |
Use this form to set out the required facts of the marriage and separation, and to give information about the children, if any, in an application for an undefended (uncontested) sole or joint divorce.
