Michigan Family Law Journal editor Norman N. Robbins advises attorneys:
“Discovery begins from the date of the initial interview with your client
and continues until the entry of the judgment and sometimes continues after
divorce…. Discovery usually ends with the extensive type of fact finding,
this is using experts.”
He
goes on to emphasize that when a husband or wife hires an attorney,
discovery “is required according to our rules conduct.” Here’s where this
Special Issue would focus lawyers’ attention in discovery related to
domestic relations matters.
-
“An Overview of Discovery Techniques,” James P. Ryan
-
“Interrogatories to Parties (MCR 2.309) and Requests for Production (MCR
2.310),” Max D. McCullough
-
“Analyzing Income and Assets in Divorce — Form 1040: U.S. Individual
Income Tax Return,” Laurie L. Miller
-
“Why MySpace May No Longer Be Your Space,” W. Jack Keiser and Susan L.
Durian
-
“Discovery and Retirement Plans,” Mark Cherniak
-
“Uncovering the Frailties in Prenuptial Agreements,” Blaine B. Johnson,
Jr.
-
“Wiretapping Law Review: What to Know So You Don’t Get Burned,” W. Jack
Keiser and Susan L. Durian
-
“Discovery Techniques for Commercial Property and Business Valuations,”
Todd S. Selin
-
“Discovering ‘Hidden Gold’ in Financial Records,” James J. Harrington
III
-
“Keeping Your Private Eye Private: Investigators During Child Custody
Proceedings
-
“Crucial Questions Regarding Sexual Abuse Allegations in Custody and
Visitation Disputes,” Jack P. Haynes
Special praise to Mr. Ryan, who underscores the R.O.I. question. “Always
question cost effectiveness. A small incremental increase in the valuation
of an asset or in a party’s income, determined only after extensive and
expensive discovery, may actually result in a loss to the client.”
That’s typically the first issue I raise.
