FAQ
Essentially, a party must disclose to the other parties the information, documents and witnesses that support the party's claims and defenses. Discovery refers to the procedures by which each party learns about the information, documents and witnesses that the other party does not have to disclose.
Getting information from the other side. 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.
In Utah, divorce documents can be served through the mail or in person. Whether delivery is by mail or in person, the receiving party's signature is required as a proof for the court that the documents were received.
Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 106, the procedural rule that governs service, now provides that a Court may, in proper circumstances, permit service of citation electronically by social media, email, or other technology.
These papers can be served by: Mailing them to the last known address provided. Handing them to the person. Emailing them to the most recent email address provided.
These initial disclosures provide a description of the evidence you currently have in your possession to support your claims, including a list of your potential witnesses and a list of documents that support your claims and defenses.
If you are serving papers by electronic means (text, email, social media, etc.), you must file a sworn written statement (affidavit) as proof of service – Affidavit of Service by Electronic Means.
If the person to be served does not have an address for service you can deliver or post the documents in a sealed envelope to their last known address or place of business, or send the documents to their last known email address.
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.
Discovery enables the parties to know before the trial begins what evidence may be presented. It s designed to prevent "trial by ambush," where one side doesn t learn of the other side s evidence or witnesses until the trial, when there s no time to obtain answering evidence.
