Understanding the Role of Interrogatories in Legal Proceedings
Hi, my name is Aaron Grubb. I’m the Tahlequah attorney at Wirth Law Office. In this video, we’re going to talk about interrogatories.
An interrogatory is a formal part of the discovery process where one party sends written questions to the other party, requesting information relevant to the case. These questions can cover a wide range of topics, as long as they’re pertinent to the legal matter at hand.
For example, in a divorce case, an interrogatory might ask:
Examples of Interrogatory Questions
-
- What is your current occupation?
-
- What hours do you work?
-
- What is your salary?
-
- Do you receive any employee benefits?
-
- Are you planning to change jobs?
These questions are crucial for gathering important information—especially in cases where there is conflict between the parties and it’s difficult to get straightforward answers. The information obtained can impact issues like child support, alimony, asset division, and custody arrangements.
Interrogatories give attorneys a more complete and official understanding of the other party’s circumstances.
