How to fill out Form Interrogatories Fill in basic information at the top of the form. Provide basic information about your case. Select the questions. On Page 2, check the box next to each question you want to ask your spouse to answer. Make copies. Make 1 copy of the completed Form Interrogatories – Family Law.
The original form interrogatories and signed proof of service should be retained for your records. If the other party does not respond to your requests, you may use these documents to support a motion to have the court compel responses.
Read each question (interrogatory) 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.
