Get Pattern Interrogatories (domestic Relations) (c.r.c.p. Form 35.4)

(1) Each interrogatory shall be answered separately and fully, in writing and under oath, unless it is objected to, in which event the objecting party shall state the reasons for objection and shall answer under oath to the extent the interrogatory is not objectionable.

Unless otherwise stipulated or ordered by the court, a party may serve on any other party no more than 40 written interrogatories, including all discrete subparts. Leave to serve additional interrogatories may be granted to the extent consistent with Rule 26(b)(1) and (2). (2) Scope.

In civil lawsuits in Colorado courts, written interrogatories are primarily governed by Colorado Rule of Civil Procedure (“C.R.C.P.”) 33 and each party is allowed to serve up to 30 written interrogatory requests on adverse parties; however, that number may be modified up or down for good cause. See C.R.C.P. 26.

(b) As a general rule, within 35 days after you are served with these interrogatories, you must serve your responses on the asking party and serve copies of your responses on all other parties to the action who have appeared. See C.R.C.P. 33 for details.

There are two types of requests, Pattern and Non-Pattern. Pattern Interrogatories or Requests for Production of Documents are a set of questions or requests that are specifically outlined in the Colorado Rules of Civil Procedure. They are consistent and the same in every case.

Requests for Admission Under the presumptive limitations of C.R.C.P. 26(b)(2), each party is entitled to serve up to 20 requests for admission on each adverse party unless otherwise modified. The specific requirements of responding to and objecting to requests for admission are governed by C.R.C.P. 36.
