Damn MHG, I missed that. You are right, there are staple holes. My guess is removed from the divorce papers.
That staple mark at the top of the exhibit was probably made by a hand held stapler not punched on a desktop because there is no line of indention from extra force. Then when separated from whatever it was attached to, a staple puller was used to remove the staple because all it left was holes in the paper.
