Interrogatories

Interrogatories (Requests for Further Information) are often used in the divorce process as written questions dealing with legal or factual contentions. These requests for further information are asked by one of the parties in the divorce, and are required to be answered by the other party.

The purpose of interrogatories are to add clarity to the matters of evidence before the divorce proceedings go to trial in the court case. Generally these proceedings are used to determine background information about the two parties that are not always specific to the divorce case. Many times this is accomplished by using a standard questionaire relevent to the type of case, which are called form interrogatories.
