In many family law court proceedings, it is not uncommon to have three, four or even fifteen affidavits prepared in the course of things. In most cases, the first affidavit describes the background facts about who the couple are, when they met, when they separated, who their children are and so forth. Affidavits after that usually update the court about events occurring since the previous affidavit was sworn.

The truth of the matter is that while he did pay for two or three of the children's hockey lessons, I was the parent who spoke to their coaches and instructors, arranged for their enrollment, and paid for the majority of the cost of these lessons.</tt>
