Harrisburg, PA asked in Family Law and Child Support for Pennsylvania

Q: Recently got a “ Request” for production of documents (my expenses) from Defendants lawyer! Mandatory?

The Interrogatories requested seem to be a little much! 52 requests to be exact including income and expense report requests! Domestic Relations got everything they needed! Seems like fishing to me and not able to retain attorney! Is this something that I need to provide them or can I deny this “Request”?

A: You really need to find a way to at least consult in person with an attorney. The Requests may not be valid at this point under the support discovery rules but, if there's a divorce pending, they probably are. There's no way I can provide you with reliable, specific information under the circumstances except to tell you that Requests for Production are typically long and very inclusive.
