An Affidavit of Estrangement is a written legal document that is used to indicate that two individuals are no longer associated with each other. It is typically used when one of the individuals wishes to sever all ties with the other, including familial, financial, and other legal ties. This document is commonly used when one of the parties has been abusive or caused some kind of harm to the other. There are two types of Affidavit of Estrangement. The first is the General Affidavit of Estrangement, which is used to formally declare the end of a relationship between two individuals. The second is the Special Affidavit of Estrangement, which is used when one party is seeking to gain legal protection from the other. This document can be used to obtain a restraining order or to terminate any existing legal contracts between the parties.
