Emancipation: Submitting Affidavits in Support of a Petition for Emancipation

My question involves juvenile law in the State of: Michigan


Hello, I am here today regarding several questions about emancipation laws coinciding with affiants and legal affidavits.

My name is Jake, and I have just recently filed for emancipation. The question I have today regards with Section 722.4a Petition; filing; signature; verification; contents; affidavit; service on parents or guardian; notice of hearing, of (Act 293 of 1968, STATUS OF MINORS AND CHILD SUPPORT (EXCERPT)), subsection(2).

Section 722.4a states that:
Quote:

(2) The petition shall include an affidavit by any of the following individuals declaring that the individual has personal knowledge of the minor's circumstances and believes that under those circumstances emancipation is in the best interests of the minor:

(a) Physician.

(b) Nurse.

(c) Member of the clergy.

(d) Psychologist.

(e) Family therapist.

(f) Certified social worker.

(g) Social worker.

(h) Social work technician.

(i) School administrator.

(j) School counselor.

(k) Teacher.

(l) Law enforcement officer.

(m) Duly regulated child care provider.
However, I was able to file a petition of emancipation included with an affidavit by an individual not listed above. The legal definition of an affidavit is ("n. 1) any written document in which the signer swears under oath before a notary public or someone authorized to take oaths (like a County Clerk), that the statements in the document are true. 2) in many states a declaration under penalty of perjury, which does not require the oath-taking before a notary, is the equivalent of an affidavit." http://ift.tt/1Uv9rSw).

My question is this: Due to the fact, that the affiant of the affidavit provided on the petition (which was legally signed and notarized) is not one of the listed authoritative individuals above, will this affect the legality of the petition or ability for myself to receive a hearing?

**Subnote: The affiant who signed the affidavit has previous been certified as a CNA, and is willing to testify in the court case hearing.
