Process of Obtaining an Affidavit: Drafting the Affidavit: The affidavit should clearly state the facts pertaining to the cohabitation period, names of the parties involved, and other relevant details. Notarization: After drafting, the affidavit needs to be signed by the affiant and notarized by a notary public.
Certificate of Singleness: This document may be issued by the local civil registrar's office where the individual resides. It certifies that the person named in the certificate is single and has not contracted any marriage.
Article 147 and Article 148 of the Family Code are crucial provisions that address the property relations of couples in a common-law marriage. The affidavit, therefore, becomes a key document to establish proof of cohabitation, especially when there is no formal or legal marriage.
In simplest terms, an Affidavit of Singleness is a sworn statement executed under oath before a notary public, attesting that the affiant has never been married, or is otherwise legally considered single due to annulment, declaration of nullity of marriage, or other recognized legal circumstances.
