Discovery Interrogatories

As you may already know, discovery is part of


the divorce process. It refers to a process by
which each party seeks to acquire necessary
information for trial including:
All assets
All liabilities
All financial and income information
All relevant factual allegations that will be
made by the opposing party
All potential witnesses
All potential documentary exhibits and other
evidence to support their case
Interrogatories are one form of this discovery.
They are simply written questions that are
submitted to the opposing party in a lawsuit.
Those questions must be answered in writing
under oath or under penalty of perjury within a
specified time (usually 30 days). Objections
may be made to questions that are overbroad,
unduly burdensome  or unlikely to lead to
admissible evidence.

Most states limit the number of interrogatories


that may be asked without the court's
permission to keep the questions from being a
means of oppression rather than a source of
information. Some states, such as Illinois
even have standard interrogatory questions
that may be asked.

Interrogatory questions may vary from case to


case depending on the issues that are in
dispute and the particular facts of the case.
Below you will find some sample questions.
