What is an affidavit?

Back to Top

Affidavits are written statements made by a person who swears that he or she is telling the truth. It is sworn before a Commissioner of Oaths or a Notary Public, who will ask the person to swear, sometimes on a Bible, that they are telling the truth. The person gives evidence in an affidavit by making statements of fact about an aspect of his or her court case, in this situation, about committing adultery. This sworn statement is then filed at the courthouse and read by the judge handling the divorce case.
