Hi everyone, just hoping someone can help with some advice/ reassurance.
A very old friend who lives in the US (resident approx 3 years) asked me to write a 'letter' confirming her relationship to her partner is real (he's legally her husband in the US as they married when she first moved over to New York).
I can do this - I know he's really her partner, I met him in March 2013 when they were in London, etc etc.
However now she's just sent me an iphone snap of the requirements documentation, which calls this 'letter' an affidavit and seems to have all these conditions relating to the content, potential to be called as a witness, etc etc.
I am now in deeper water than I expected - I thought I was just signing up to write a breezy letter. Despite knowing I'm only going to be writing the truth, it's all a lot heavier legally than I expected and I don't want to be implicated in something that might mean I have to travel to the US to testify, should it come to that (I doubt it would?) as I have a 2 year old and am 35 weeks pregnant with DC2.
Should I just write it and stop worrying? Any reassurance or advice would be very welcome!
Thanks in advance
