Affidavit Of Undertaking Explained
Summary
An Affidavit of Undertaking is a legal document where a person makes a sworn statement about certain facts. In this case, it involves pledging not to disturb or take custody of a certain individual and not to file any related cases. This does not necessarily terminate the foster fathers rights but indicates he wont interfere or take custody. Custody refers to the legal right to care for and make decisions for a child, which can be sole or joint. The dismissal of a rape case due to the childs testimony is separate from the affidavit.
