FAQ
The discovery process requires full disclosure of all assets, debts, and any other information that may be relevant to the issues in a divorce case. Significantly, there are certain tools and procedures involved to obtain the necessary documents.
The discovery period depends on what type of discovery plan your case falls under. For example, in Level 2 discovery, which is the most common type, discovery begins when the suit is filed and continues until 30 days before the trial is set (in family law cases).
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?
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.
Once Discovery is complete, the next stage in the divorce process is to pursue settling your case. Most divorce cases get settled in mediation. Mediation involves taking your case to a neutral third-party professional who has no interest in the outcome.
Discovery helps the spouses identify all property and debts involved. If one spouse earns significantly more than the other, discovery may provide the necessary financial details for the court to determine whether spousal support is appropriate.
Discovery is an essential part of litigation. Discovery allows each litigant to learn about the other's financial situation, assets, debts, parenting plan requests (when applicable) and other relevant information.
