Q: I'm Pro Se. Why did my wife's divorce attorney include a one-page boilerplate list objecting to every interrogatory? Tx
They also did answer each Interrogatory and Document Request, albeit with massive deficiencies.
A:
They have a right to identify all objections to the questions posed so that at time of trial, they have preserved their objections to the admissibility of the answers provided - to limit your ability to use their answers.
Separately, if there are deficiencies, you need to a deficiency letter to the other side detailing each and every deficiency because you will not be able to address it at time of trial. It's your obligation to detail the deficiencies and to potentially file an application for sanctions for their non-compliance with their discovery obligations - which must be addressed now - not at time of trial.
