Court forms

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's relevant to your application or the order you're 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:

• About income: If you and the other party agree about the income of the party paying child support, but the payor doesn't have a copy of his or her most recent income tax return and assessments to attach to the Agreement as to Annual Income (Form F9), he or she can complete and swear or affirm an affidavit to explain why not.
• In response to an application for non-final family orders: If you're responding to an application for a non-final family order (when the parties don't agree).
• In response to an application to change family orders: If you're responding to an application to change a family order for child or spousal support, custody, access, and/or guardianship (when the parties don't agree).
• To apply for alternative service (substituted service): If you're applying to a judge/master for permission to serve documents in a different way than what's set out in the court rules (for example, because the other party is avoiding service).
• To support an application for a non-final family order: If you're applying for a non-final family order (when the parties don't agree on the terms of the order).
• To support an application to change a family order: If you're applying to change a family order for child or spousal support, custody, access, and/or guardianship (when the parties don't agree).
