I have a question for any of my fellow heathens who are lawyers or have had experience with the court system, especially here in Georgia.
Affirmations. Today I had a meeting with my attorney, who because of health reasons, is retiring and recommending my case to another lawyer. I previously instructed his secretary that I want to affirm. It was my understanding that she understood that, and she said that she would let him know.
This morning I signed an affidavit, without reading it (that is on me--yet he did explain to me what its purpose is and what it was about) releasing himself from my employ. The only problem I have is this one line: "I swear the above statement is true, so help me God."
I feel ignored and betrayed. What can I do about it? I thought about writing an addendum asserting my rights as an American citizen with no religion. Would that do any good?
Does anyone have any advice?
