deposition
#141018 - 10/06/07 10:39 AM (66.118.84.2)

I have been through the pre trial and now heading to a contested divorce trial. My lawyer says I will have to do a deposition from her lawyer. What exactly is that all about. Has anyone out there gone through this. Ifso let me know what to expect. Thanks

its a list of questions.

about property, assesets, money, iras,
what you think about custody.

stuff like that.

it's a pain.

but doable.

your stbx will get the same thing from your attorney.

I have turned al my iras and retirements , pay stubs, monthly living expenses, etc. Why is there a deposition. Plus I live out of state now and am 5 hours away. I have been to 3 hearings that have all laste a total of 15 min combined and I have yet to talk or see any magistrate or judge. It has been a total waste of time. Can I do a deposition by phone or mail. I don't have time to miss another day or 2 of work for this nonsense.Please someone who has gone thru this give me some good advice. Also I am thinking of droping my lawyer and doing the rest of this myself. Is this a bad idea. I think I can do abetter job and also be more prepared. I have studied the laws for a year now and think I know what to do. Any comments. Thanks

It is vitally important for you to attend the deposition if required . It's an opportunity for the opposing counsel to ask you questions under oath before trial . Your answers can be used to impeach your testimony IF/WHEN an actual hearing is held .
