From where do you get such information/ideas sir?  First of all the Hon'ble high Court won't entertain any such petition by your wife; as such petition is to be made to the family court only. Secondly, do you know what a caveat is? or just hear legal terminology from somewhere and just put it in your case?? 

A caveat is not filed by parties to litigation. It's filed by a third party whose interests stand to be effected by the litigation. As you are petitioner, you aren't entitled to file caveats. What is file after the petition is termed rejoinder and not caveat

Sir, if your wife intends to invoke s24 of CPC and petition to Hon'ble SC to transfer the divorce petition; then also you aren't the third person. You will have to be served a notice by the SC as you will be the respondent in that petition of your wife (s 24 of CPC) and no order will be passed by Hon'ble SC without hearing you. So no question of filing caveat

For filing caveat petition there is no necessity to file an affidavit, jut the petition shall be enough, you can ask the advocate who will be filing the same in high court on further issues.

You can very well file a caveat petition in this regard to notify you that if she files any petition under section 24 cpc seeking transfer of the case to the place of her choice and for stay of the proceedings in the trial court.

The caveat has to be filed along with affidavit and a vakalatnama. An advocate has to be engaged unless  you want to contest the case.

Also a service of notice to the proposed applicant has also to be pasted in the caveat.

It is not mandatory to file affidavit in support with caveat but you can file affidavit because there is no problem in filing affidavit with your application for caveat.
