Caption
Case caption and court identification showing judgment creditor, debtor, case number, and docket entry to which this affidavit relates.
The affidavit creates a contemporaneous record of your asset‑search efforts and demonstrates good‑faith diligence to the court, which can affect whether enforcement relief is granted. It also helps limit disputes over sufficiency of search efforts and preserves a clear audit trail for later proceedings.
Typical users prepare or file the affidavit when pursuing post‑judgment remedies and when courts or opposing parties require proof of diligence.
Tailor the affidavit to the court's local rules; attach supporting records such as search logs, call notes, and public record printouts.
