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. It is often used in cases where there are disputes over the value of assets, such as real estate, investments, businesses, or other property. The affidavit of merit is signed by a qualified expert, such as a certified public accountant or attorney, and is used to provide an objective opinion on the value of the asset in question.

In Utah we would call it a Financial Declaration or an Affidavit of Value, or something along those lines.

I hope you find this information helpful. If you ever need legal help in Utah, call this lawyer for a consultation.
