In the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia trial is by affidavit, and your affidavit becomes your evidence in chief. At trial you will be cross-examined about your evidence in chief and all parts of your affidavit will be canvassed.
Your affidavit is how you present the facts of your case. Affidavits should be concise, factual, and not merely a regurgitation of your distress or pain. Keep your emotions and opinions for your private journaling as they have no place in an affidavit.
Don’t use affidavits to finger point, lay blame, or make accusations. If in doubt, leave it out. The court isn't interested in your exes affairs, the herpes he gave you, or his daily marijuana use because it's a no-fault jurisdiction.
