While it sounds complicated, an Affidavit of Non-Prosecution is merely a document that is utilized in cases where the alleged victim doesn't wish to pursue charges, most commonly in those involving domestic violence or situations in which the victim is familiar with the alleged offender.
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).
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.
Providing false information in an affidavit can lead to legal consequences, including penalties for perjury.
Errors in personal information, such as a wrong name or address, often require correction to prevent complications in transactions or official records. A notarized affidavit for correction officially documents these changes. This process ensures that entities such as banks and government agencies accept the updates.
Once you've sworn your affidavit, it's done. With one exception — for typos, discussed below — the only way you can fix a mistake in that affidavit or add additional information to it is to make a new affidavit.
Certified copies of divorce decrees are only available from the district clerk. Certified copies of marriage/divorce records must be obtained in the county or district in which they were originally filed.
A certified copy means that the court verified the document, which may be necessary if you're presenting your divorce decree for a legal reason, such as a new marriage. You may also request a copy of your divorce decree from the state or local vital records department where you divorced.
