Re: affidavits and petitions

If anyone cannot be present at the Hearing, they should submit an affidavit, which is a statement that is notorized. They really must be there to be have any effect, and that includes any counselors that may have an opinion.

Call me directly if you wish. Your sister should have an attorney there for her.
