If for some reason you are going to trial you may want information from the other party before you appear in court. You have the right to information from the other party that is “relevant” to the case.
According to the Gallagher Law Library of the University of Washington School of Law, these rules of “Discovery” are called the Civil Rules for Superior Court, or Civil Rules.
Having this information will allow you to see the evidence and arguments the other party might use in its case; and for use of finding facts about and supporting evidence for the other party’s likely claims at trial.
In a divorce, it is helpful for you and your Vancouver, WA family attorney to know the other party’s proposed division of property and debts.
