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 primary purpose of interrogatories is to bring to light certain matters in the divorce and present the facts to be used in the divorce case in advance.

Most interrogatories are used to obtain background information on each party in the divorce that is not specific to the proceedings. The fact that most requests for further information are used in getting general information, it is possible that standard forms are used, making this process as efficient as possible.
