Swear or affirm?

December 12, 2011
During your divorce you may have to swear an affidavit, or swear that the contents of a statement or a financial disclosure form are true.  If you are uncomfortable with the idea of swearing an oath, you can opt for the non-religious version, called affirmation.  Simply tell the person administering the oath (a solicitor or court official) that you want to affirm rather than swear.

But is it intolerable?

December 5, 2011

If you want to rely on adultery when you divorce your spouse, you should be aware that you have to find it intolerable to live with him or her.  During the course of the procedings you have to swear an affidavit.  Are you prepared to swear on oath that you find it intolerable to live with your spouse?  Better to think about this before starting divorce proceedings......

Principal Every week, usually on a Monday, I post my movements for the coming week - when I'm in the office and when I'm out, for example at court. At the same time I post a short article on a word or expression that may crop up during a separation or divorce case. I'm always glad of feedback - any comments on my blog entries are welcome - just send me an email.
