Legal Question in Family Law in Connecticut
Question
In a divorce case, when both parties are filing ''at-fault'', in the interrogatories, can either party ask ''any'' question, even if they do not pertain to the ''faults''? For example, if adultery is not a reason for filing for divorce, and it is not noted on the papers, can one party ask the other party ask if the have any children or diseases? What are the boudaries, if any?

Re: Question
Questions of the kind you raise are relevant to the issues surrounding custody,child support visitation and alimony. Consequently, the boundaries are somewhat liberal as long as the possible answers lead to admissable evidence relevant to these issues. The actual answers themselves need not be admissable at trial, but only need to lead to admissable and relevant evidence.Furthermore, any reasons for the breakdown of the marriage are relevant to alimony and equitable distribution of the parties' assets.
