What is the purpose of the General Affidavit?

A general affidavit is a written statement made under oath that sets out facts and information relevant to a legal matter. An affidavit is a type of sworn statement that is used as evidence in court proceedings.

In a general affidavit, the person making the affidavit (known as the affiant) swears or affirms that the information contained in the affidavit is true to the best of their knowledge and belief. The affidavit must be signed in the presence of a Commissioner for Oaths, Notary Public, or other authorized official who can administer oaths.

General affidavits are commonly used in a variety of legal situations, including:

• divorce proceedings
• immigration matters
• family court matters
• civil litigation 

They can be used to provide evidence about:

• a person's identity
• residency
• employment, or
• other relevant matters

It's important to note that false statements made in an affidavit can result in serious legal consequences.
