FAQ
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.
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.
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.
If your husband has failed to meet discovery deadlines, your attorneys can seek to bar him from presenting evidence or arguments at trial related to his undisclosed assets. Courts disfavor parties who fail to comply with discovery rules.
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?
Understanding the Discovery Phase in Divorce This process requires both parties to share relevant documents, including financial records and property details, which might date back three to five years. The goal is to achieve transparency, helping both parties make informed decisions.
A: The discovery process is adaptable to the needs of spouses in a divorce and will require any relevant information. Generally, this is financial, asset, and debt information from the last three to five years.
You have 45 days from the service of the most recent responses to ask the court to make an order requiring an answer. If the response was served by mail, 5 extra days are added. If the last day falls on a weekend or court holiday, the last day to file rolls to the next court date.
Limitations: You can serve unrepresented parties by email only if that party has filed and served Consent to Electronic Service and Notice of Electronic Service Address (EFS-005-CV). You can serve attorneys by email without consent if you first contact their office and confirm the email is correct.
Your response for each request must include either an agreement to comply, a representation of your ability to reply, or an objection to all or part of the request. California Code of Civil Procedure (CCP) §§ 2031.210 et. seq require specific statements in your response.
