Answer:
The type of affidavit required will depend on all the facts involved, such as whether the order for attachment is based upon an unpaid judgment or whether it is part of a request to freeze asets in a petition for injunctive relief. An affidavit is a sworn statement often used to detail the facts that may be necessary as proof of a claim. The nature of the affidavit and facts it contains will depend on the type of claim. For example, in a petition for a preliminary injunction, it is necessary to prove why irreparable harm is likely to be suffered if the requested relief isn't granted.
