Legal Question in Family Law in New York
Appearing for a deposition if you are Very Very ill.
My dad is in the process of a contested divorce. He is the plaintiff. Since filing with the court he has become VERY VERY ill and has not been able to make 2 court appearances. Is there a way for him to give his deposition from a hospital? He is recouperating in Florida. The court is in NY

Re: Appearing for a deposition if you are Very Very ill.
Yes. The deposition may be held in FL.
Either:
1. The attorneys would appear in Florida at the hospital (not a bad idea in the cold winter months). However, the clients will probably not pay for the trip.
2. More likely, you can have a telephone deposition. The attorneys would meet in NY with the stenographer. Your father would telephone the attorney's office and be placed on speaker telephone.
