Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois
Affidavit
I sent my wife, who resided in another state and urged me to do so, an affidavit basically stating tht I will not merge my military retirement pay and any possible future government pension, nor take any action s as to defeat her right to share in monthly retreent benefit as set forth in this aggreement. I also stated that I guarantee and agree to indeminfy against any breach and hold her harmless etc. My question is this, can the affidavit expire? can I revoke it? Is there a statue of limitation? She is now seeking a divorse and I feel helpless.

Re: Affidavit
Hello. In my opinion, the affidavit
is not a binding agreement since there
appears to have been no consideration.
In other words, there was no promise
for a promise; only a promise by you.
However, for future reference, I would
be careful about making a statement in
writing, unless you consult an attor-
ney. You certainly need representa-
tion. Of course, I have no idea of
your assets and whether you have any
children, but all of these issues can
surface in court. I will be happy to
answer any additional questions that
you may have.
