Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia
Hi,
my ex was allowed a discovery process. He sent me an email with the information that he needs and by what date. Can he just send me an email for this or there is a document format that he needs to submit?
Thank you,
Catalina

He must give you 21 days to answer and the information he has requested must be reasonably calculated to lead to relevant informaiton. He'll have to prove you received the requests, which may be difficult with email; typically they are mailed and faxed. There are plenty of sample forms (including good samples in the Virginia State Rules) to use. If he was granted the ability to issue discovery, you are granted a similar right. You should exercise it to gather the information you need to prove your case. Good luck.
