A New York Affidavit in Support of Order to Show Cause (Generic) is a legal document that is used by an individual or entity seeking to obtain a court order from a New York court. It is typically used when an individual or entity does not have legal standing to file a motion or complaint on their own behalf. The Affidavit serves as proof that the individual or entity is entitled to the order sought and includes information such as the legal basis for the relief requested, the facts of the case, and the evidence in support of the Affidavit. There are two types of New York Affidavit in Support of Order to Show Cause (Generic): the verified Affidavit and the unverified Affidavit. A verified Affidavit is sworn to and signed before a Notary Public and includes more detailed evidence than an unverified affidavit. An unverified Affidavit is signed by the affine and does not include the detailed evidence found in a verified Affidavit. Both types of affidavits are used to support a motion or complaint, and are commonly used in family law, civil law, and criminal law cases.
