Common confusion points
Mistaking this form for a standard affidavit; while related, it is specifically designated as a 'Further Statement'.
Not knowing *why* you need to add evidence—you must have a specific procedural reason.
Failing to reference the exact section of the Act (4C(1)(C)) when submitting to the court clerk.
Assuming that signing alone is enough; always check if witnessing or notarisation is required for your particular county/circuit.
