Can an affidavit be used for evidence instead of testimony from a witness during the hearing?
Yes. However, affidavits may not have as much weight as live testimony given under oath. If a party or witness is unable to attend the hearing, an affidavit may be provided. The affidavit should include all the facts, preferably in chronological order. Affidavits must be received in time to be considered at the hearing.
