Other Discovery Questions Have you ever filed for bankruptcy? Do you have any health problems that could affect your ability to work? Have you ever been sued or involved in a lawsuit? Do you have any other information that is relevant to the divorce proceedings?
The discovery process can play a foundational role in any divorce case and play a crucial role in gathering extensive financial details of both parties. This process, typically initiated by legal counsel, can take a considerable amount of time to finalize, often lasting several weeks to months or longer.
In the United States, can a person obtain a divorce without the spouse's knowledge? Yes. It's far more complicated than doing it with the spouse's knowledge, but it can be done. Usually, it's done because one spouse left and has had no communication with the other for several years.
The Role of Discovery in Divorce Cases The main function of the discovery process is multifaceted in purpose, including to gather vital information for equitable property division, resolving custody disagreements, and uncovering undisclosed details, just to name a few.
How far back can discovery go in a divorce? Discovery in a divorce typically requires financial, asset, and debt information from the last three to five years.
Arizona Rule of Family Law Procedure 49 (Rule 49) requires both parties to share information in family law cases. It requires each party send to the other party a detailed statement with the specific positions the party proposes to resolve all issues.
With a settlement, discovery is generally not needed. Rather than an official exchange of information, both parties will communicate with each other in an effort to reach an amicable divorce agreement, otherwise known as an uncontested divorce.
An order issued without notice to the other party is known as an "ex parte order". Rule 48 of the Arizona Rules of Family Law Procedure governs when a Court may issue an ex parte emergency order.
Once the legal process begins, you and the party you've filed a claim against will enter the discovery process. This is simply the stage where both parties locate and evaluate evidence to support their claim. It's then shared amongst the courtroom to formulate legal arguments and prepare each side for a fair trial.
How Does Discovery Work? There are four main types of discovery requests: (1) depositions; (2) interrogatories; (3) requests for admissions; and (4) requests for the production of documents. Depositions are formal witness interviews.
