• Affidavit on second motion for joint divorce application

Hi,
My Advocate told me that for the second motion Joint Divorce application, we have to submit the affidavit separately not jointly. Is that true? He told me wife and me no need to file the affidavit for the second motion in joint divorce application. She will file the affidavit separately. But he is saying that we have to appear together at the time of judgement delivery time. No need to apply the affidavit for the second motion jointly. Is it true or he is trying any foul game in the affidavit.

Yes the affidavit to be submitted during the second motion should be filed separately by both the parties to confirm the decision independently.

Though the affidavit is to be filed separately by both, at the time of second motion both have to appear before the court together. 

 

If you still in doubt about the local procedures adopted by the court in Trivandrum, you may seek a second opinion from another lawyer in the local to confirm the truth.

In Second motion both of you are filed separate proof affidavit before the court after the counseling and your presence in the court is important and needed. The same day judge will take evidence as per your petition and then after posted for hearing or judgement in another day. In the hearing day your presence is not needed .

1. The practice varies in different parts of the country. Here in Rajasthan we do not file any affidavit, much less separate affidavits. Only statement is recorded. So heed your lawyer.

2. You have to appear personally for second motion.
