Legal Question in Family Law in Ohio

Custody Deposition

I was in a custody deposition and My attorney asked relevant questions re. parenting, lifestyle, work, etc. The opposing attorney only asked questions about why I was afraid to tell my parents when we first had our daughter or to describe my house. I was never asked to discuss why I was going for custody or about my relationship with the children. Is there a good explanation for this and can this any of that junk possibly be useful before a judge? Thanks.

Re: Custody Deposition

I assume your attorney objected several times and then allowed you to answer. What that means is those questions will probably be excluded on the basis of relevance if they try to use the deposition at any evidentiary hearing. Or the attorney may not have objected at all, not feeling it was necessary. It is common to use a deposition as a "fishing expedition". Not to worry. I am sure you lawyer knew what he/she was doing.
