How do I submit an affidavit ?

My divorce attorney has submitted an order to show cause against me for contempt of court. I am submitting and Affidavit in Oppostion of her order to show cause. I do not know how to deliver this affidavit to her or the courts? Do I have to mail and hand deliver the affidavit to the courts? Can I mail the documents by regular mail?If I mail the documents do I need an affidavit of service? If I do, can I type out my own affidavit of service or do I need a special form?

You serve it to her by mail and an original has to be hand delivered to the clerk of the court with an affidavit of service.

Should you like to discuss this or any other legal matter, you can call my office to schedule an appointment for a consultation or in the alternative, I can be reached for on-phone low-cost legal consultation at 1-800-275-5336 x0233699

The OSC may specify the maner in which opposition is to be served upon the movant. As the other attorneys noted, you must file your opposition papers with the affidavit of service in court.
