  What is an affidavit of merit in a divorce case? Tim Cella I am not an attorney. I know some law. Real Estate Broker Hello there. My experience with divorce has been in the state of Utah. I’ve never seen a document called an Affidavit of Merit in Utah. That doesn’t mean they don’t exist here, it just means I’ve never seen it. I also have never read about it in the Utah Code. Not sure what state you are in. With that being said, my recent research indicates that an affidavit of merit is a sworn statement used in divorce cases to establish the value of certain assets.

  How long does it normally take for a probate attorney to respond?

On average, a probate attorney should be able to provide an initial response to a client within 24 hours. If the matter is more complex and requires research, the attorney may need additional time to provide an informed answer.
