An Alabama Child Custody Proceeding Affidavit is an official document that is submitted to the court in order to initiate a child custody proceeding. It is a sworn statement from one or both parents that outlines the facts and circumstances regarding the child custody case. It includes information about the parents, the child, and their relationship. The affidavit is used to determine the best interests of the child and to decide who should have custody and access to the child. There are two types of Alabama Child Custody Proceeding Affidavits: a Joint Affidavit of Parentage and a Sole Affidavit of Parentage. The Joint Affidavit of Parentage is signed by both parents and outlines the facts and circumstances that support joint or shared custody. The Sole Affidavit of Parentage is signed only by one parent and outlines the facts and circumstances that support sole custody for that parent. In both types of affidavits, the parents must provide information about their living arrangements, financial support, and parenting plans. The affidavit is used by the court to make a decision in the child custody case, and it is essential that all information provided is accurate and complete.
