WA Divorce - A Statutory Declaration or an Affidavit?

[Dedre]

My husband advised he wants a divorce. Our situation is quite complex and I want this documented/recorded to avoid him refuting this at a later stage.

Please advise which of a statutory declaration or affidavit provides the most appropriate means to do so.

Thank you.

You want it recorded that he said he wants a divorce? I'm not sure how this would relate to any proceedings, but if there are no proceedings under way, a stat dec will suffice. If there are proceedings under way, an affidavit is the better option.

Hello AllForHer
Thank you for your response.
Are you able to confirm an affidavit should be done at a police station?
Thank you.

No, an affidavit can be done at any time and is a statement of fact written by the person deposing it, signed by both them and an authorised witness. It's not necessary to complete an affidavit at the police station.
