A New York Affidavit In Support of Issuance of Order To Show Cause is a document used in litigation to ask a court to issue an Order to Show Cause. An Order to Show Cause is a court order requiring a person or party to appear before a court to explain why a certain matter should not be decided in favor of the person filing the affidavit. There are two types of New York Affidavits in Support of Issuance of Order to Show Cause. The first type is an Order to Show Cause seeking a Temporary Restraining Order (TO) or preliminary injunction. This is a court order that prohibits a party from taking a certain action until the case has been fully heard. The second type is an Order to Show Cause seeking an Order of Protection or Anti-Harassment/Restraining Order. This is a court order that prohibits a person from engaging in certain behaviors, such as stalking or harassment. The New York Affidavit in Support of Issuance of Order to Show Cause must include information about the person filing the affidavit, the parties to the action, the facts of the case, and the relief requested. It must be sworn to or affirmed under penalty of perjury. The Affidavit must be filed with the court and served on the other party or parties involved in the case.
