Discovery is the process in litigation of gathering information and documents. We send written questions to the other party that are answered under oath. We request documents from the other party. We interview witnesses and take witness depositions. We take the deposition of the other party. Each party prepares an Inventory and Appraisement, showing their assets and debts and their values. When property is hard to value (like a small business), we may need to get an appraisal. In some cases, we get a psychological evaluation or a custody evaluation. We may need experts to help us or the court understand certain aspects of the case.
