Sometimes, it is difficult for a spouse to identify all of the assets that may be subject to valuation and division. A lawyer can seek out this information using the “discovery” process. Your lawyer has a number of tools in that process. For example, your lawyer can file Interrogatories, which are formal written questions that your spouse must answer in writing under oath. Your lawyer can also file Requests for Production of Documents (seeking the production of necessary documents) and Requests for Admissions (seeking admissions as to certain facts of your case). Additionally, your lawyer can file subpoenas to require third-parties to produce documents or appear to be question during a deposition. Your lawyer can also depose your spouse.
