Fulton County Mandatory Discovery
If you are going through the divorce process in Fulton County, it is wise to retain an experienced Atlanta divorce attorney who can effectively guide you. The process has many stages, procedures and paperwork that must be completed on time. Your lawyer can ensure that everything is filled out in an accurate and timely fashion.
Before you come to an agreement in the dissolution of marriage, you should have a detailed understanding of exactly what property you are discussing. The court helps us determine property, assets and any income that exists. Mandatory discovery refers to the documents that help us determine what assets and debts exist that are subject to equitable division. The court requires that such documentation be exchanged by the parties at the 30 day status conference — mandatory interrogatories and mandatory request for production of documents — to help determine what is a fair and equitable settlement.
At The Siemon Law Firm, we will help you prepare these documents, and once we receive the mandatory discovery responses, due at the 30 day status conference from your spouse, we review them in detail. Through this review, we can determine if there are any additional items that need to be addressed. At this point, we can engage in our own discovery process if you need additional information to feel comfortable entering into a settlement agreement. It is important to remember that these mandatory discovery documents are responded to under oath. It is illegal to lie on mandatory discovery, and individuals can suffer consequences if they do not answer truthfully.
