Hi, I'm about to undergo an interrogation by my wife's lawyer, it's a procedure of "discovery" so that I have an opportunity to disclose all my assets. I get to do the same to her in a couple of weeks. I intend to keep my answers short and sweet. If I say anything more than yes or no, there'd better be a good reason. Plus I have the right to object to any questions not related to assets. This will be fun!
Depositions are always interesting. I was taught by the attorneys who prepared me that in normal conversation, your aim is to help and further the conversation, while in depositions, your aim is to process the question and answer it precisely, with as little information as possible. Of course, the opposing attorney's job is to try to rattle you and get you emotional so you say more, so if you just commit to yourself that you will strip away the emotion and respond only factually... there isn't much they can do. And in a way it's a test of wills, who will tire out first.
GW: My thoughts are with you. Also, I'm sure that your attorney has instructed you on how to proceed. You sound like a strong guy to begin with.
Well it went as well as can be expected, going over 20 years of finances is a bit challenging, my chance will come in a couple of weeks. He is trying to drown me in getting all kinds of paperwork that doesn't exist anymore, that also is a form of intimidation...my turn next... Thanks for the support guys!
Are you still representing yourself? At least this was educational. I will keep you in my thoughts. Tom
Yeah, from now on I am on my own...definitely a learning experience... At least I have the advantage of knowing her...
