Aus10 Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 (edited) On an affidavit can I attest to my own claims as a witness. This is for a continuance and according to Missouri Civil Court Procedure I need one (affidavit). Edited November 29, 2011 by Aus10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legaleagle Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 All that means is that you have to state your reason for requesting the continuance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aus10 Posted December 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 Yeah, I did that included just had a basic affidavit with it saying my reason was true and had it notorized. Tonight I need to work on my motion to quash summons, they served me at an address that was not mine. The address they served me at was someone who has the same name as me but different middle initials. Perhaps with my motion I include current lease agreement, prior lease agreement (4 Plus years of address proof) and the warranty deed of the address they served me at (public information). That I should probably put in another thread if for advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
