An affidavit can be submitted in any interim application or summary trial application by any person (including a grandparent) as long as it has been properly drafted and sworn and filed. If the hearing is to be by live “viva voce” testimony rather than by affidavits, then an affidavit cannot be submitted (except by the consent of both parties) as the witness would normally have to testify and be subject to cross examination.
