Discovery allows you to get information and evidence from the other party or other persons you can use in your lawsuit.
The purpose of discovery is to provide parties the opportunity to gather evidence relevant to proving or defending the case.
You use discovery to get information or evidence from the other side in a lawsuit that will help you make your case. In order to get the information you need, you must make a request using a specific procedure and written format, within a specific timeframe.

Write out each fact you wish the other party to admit is true. When writing these facts, be as clear and concise as possible. Each request must be for a single fact; do not include multiple facts, compound questions, or subparts.
At the end of the discovery process, both parties should have a reasonably good idea of the strength of their opponent's case as well as their own. A weakness in one party's position may encourage it to try negotiating a settlement to avoid going to trial.
Discovery is how you gather the evidence you will need to prove your case as plaintiff, or defeat the plaintiff's case as a defendant. You use discovery to find out things like: What the other side plans to say about an issue in your case. What facts or witnesses support their side.
Rule 69. In aid of the judgment or execution, the judgment creditor, or successor in interest when that interest appears of record, may obtain discovery from any person, including the judgment debtor, in the manner provided by these rules.
Motions to Compel. If a party fails to comply with an approved request for discovery or a request for documents under Rule 361.02, the party requesting the discovery may serve and file a motion for an order compelling an answer or compliance with the discovery request.
