Document background
A Custody Affidavit is a fundamental document in Hong Kong family law proceedings, used when parties seek to establish, modify, or enforce custody arrangements for children. This sworn statement must be prepared in accordance with Hong Kong legal requirements and typically includes detailed information about the child's welfare, current living arrangements, and proposed custody plans. The document is essential in cases involving separation, divorce, or disputes over child custody and must be filed with the appropriate Hong Kong court. The affidavit needs to address specific requirements under Hong Kong's Guardianship of Minors Ordinance and related legislation, providing a comprehensive overview of the circumstances affecting the child's custody arrangement. It serves as primary evidence in custody proceedings and requires careful preparation to ensure all relevant facts and circumstances are properly documented.
