      An affidavit is a written legal sworn statement  testifying that a certain facts or set of facts is true.  In your case, you will likely  be asked to swear to the truth that you and your partner are in fact eligible to be considered as common law married, according to living arrangements, relationship, and even perhaps the length of time you have been together.  It is often required to award medical or legal benefits and to prevent fraudulent use or assignment of such benefits as is allowed to those legally married as they would receive under law.

      For whoever has rated these 3 answers here before the person who actually asked it (jennie_c77) could: please do not rate my answer when you are not the person asking the question. The asker is the one person who can determine how well each response has answered her question to her satisfaction, and her rating will then of course be the most meaningful. Thank you.

        A written declaration made under oath; a written statement sworn to be true before someone legally authorized to administer an oath. Peace
