Re: Fax copy of notarized document
If your question whether a fax is as binding as an original, the answer is sometimes. The original document is always the 'best evidence'; but there are times when a faxed copy is admissible evidence.
If your question is whether an affidavit to increase child support is enforceable, the answer is no. Child support is enforceable only by court order, and without a court order increasing child support, there is nothing to enforce.
