Legal Question in Family Law in California

The time to respond is the same, regardless of how many RFA's are in the set.

Mr. McCormick didn't fully answer your question, but don't hold that against him. It is tiring to respond fully, because teaching people who are representing themselves how to do discovery is time consuming and exhausting. It is a lot like trying to explain how to perform surgery over a telephone.

It depends on what the requests for admission are composed of. If they are for genuineness of documents, you can propound as many as it takes. (Code Civ. Proc., sect. 2033.020, subd. (a).)

If you intend to propound more than 35 requests for admission of fact, then you will need to submit a declaration for additional discovery as set forth in Code of Civil Procedure section 2033.050. http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/displaycode?section=ccp&group=02001-03000&file=2033.010-2033.080

The responding party will have 30 days to respond, which runs from the time service is complete. If you serve the requests by mail, to an address in the state, they will have 5 additional days.
