FAQ

In Florida, you may not send more than 30 interrogatories, including all subparts. Sometimes the court will allow a larger number for special circumstances. If you reach the 30-set limit, you have the option to request permission from the court to send more. It is always allowed to send less than the limit of 30.

You must serve the other party with a copy of this form along with an original and a copy of the appropriate interrogatories, Florida Family Law Rules of Procedure Form 12.930(b) or (c), if service is by mail or hand delivery. You must serve a copy of this form and a copy of the interrogatories if service is by email.

An interrogatory is a request for information, in the form of standard questions, that must be answered in writing and then notarized. In Florida, there are two types of interrogatories used in family law proceedings.

The party to whom the interrogatories are directed must serve the answers and any objections within 30 days after the service of the interrogatories, except that a defendant may serve answers or objections within 45 days after service of the process and initial pleading on that defendant.

Draft Interrogatories Strategically Only ask specific questions that address the crux of the matter where possible. Avoid board or vague questions. The opposing party's legal team may simply file objections against these, citing irrelevance, wasting your time. Also, ask questions sequentially.

Read the question very carefully. Answer only the question that is asked, and avoid the temptation to over-explain your answer. If the question contains several parts, you may break your answer into parts as well. It is also possible that you might object to the question.

However, you can object to interrogatories that call for legal conclusions. You can also object to questions if they are not at all related to the court case. To object, you need to write out the reasons for the objection instead of answering the question.

Clear and Succinct Language: Writing in an easy-to-understand way without using complex legal terms. Leading Questions: Questions that suggest the desired answer and can be seen as an attempt to influence the party's response. Motion to Compel: A legal request to force the opposing party to answer the interrogatories.
