Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies whether an affidavit of assets and liabilities must be served on the opposing party in court proceedings. Generally, there's no obligation to supply a copy directly to the other side. If they require the document, they should formally apply to the court to obtain it. This is because the affidavit is not typically marked as an exhibit, negating the need for automatic disclosure.
