Take the sworn affidavit to a lawyer or notary public, preferably the lawyer or notary who executed the affidavit. When you're in front of the lawyer or notary, correct the mistakes on the affidavit in pen (cross out the incorrect information and write the correct information).
You can challenge an affidavit either if the information is incorrect or if the person signing the affidavit (the affiant) does not have personal knowledge of the information stated on the affidavit.
Whether you can withdraw an affidavit depends on the legal consequences of the situation: No trial. Agreeable withdrawal before the trial saves time and costs. Settlement implications.
A legal affidavit must be signed by the person making the statement to be considered legally binding. In many cases, the affiant must also sign the document in front of a witness. That witness is often the notary public, but they could be anyone willing to swear the signature is authentic.
Providing false information in an affidavit can lead to legal consequences, including penalties for perjury.
The affiant must take the oath highlighted in the affidavit voluntarily. If the court discovers evidence that the affiant signed unwillingly, under pressure, or coercion, they may consider the oath invalid and the affidavit inadmissible in court proceedings.

An "Amended VOP Affidavit " is one that is filed after an initial VOP Affidavit and which supplants and supersedes the original, becoming "the" VOP Affidavit in the case.
