Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey
Depositions
Do I have the right to depose other potential witnesses before the trial? Does the other attorney need to be present or have an oppurtunity to be present for the deposition?

Re: Depositions
As mentioned, you do have the right to depose a potential witness though you must notify the opposing attorney. Depositions can be expensive, especially if you want to order the transcript, which usually is what you should do. Also, they can hurt your case if you're not careful and, if you're representing yourself, there is a high risk of it doing more damage than good, yet you're still out the money for the deposition. Think carefully before you decide to do this on your own. Best of luck to you whatever you decide.
Re: Depositions
Yes to both. However, if you are going up against another attorney pro se, you are not going to have a fun time.
Re: Depositions
A deposition for trial purposes requires that the side conducting the deposition advised the opposing attorney, with reasonable notice, of the scheduling of the deposition.
