My response:

No, not in this type of instance. Affidavits and Declarations can't be cross-examined in court so, for the most part, unless the actual person appears, such papers can't be considered by the judge.

Besides, how would these people know whether or not your ex-husband isn't telling the truth? Are these people with you 24 hours a day to be able to know that there isn't "some" truth to what he's saying?

So you AND your siter both have "restrining" orders on abusive X's? What exactly is a avidavid? Please clarify both of these posts.
