Question

Interrogatories?


What is the name of your state? Wisconsin

I have been divorced for over 2 years and I still find myself going back to court to take care of problems that my ex will not deal with as an adult. I received maintenance for 27 months so that I was able to return to school and get an education, after staying home with the kids for almost 13 years.

Unfortunately, because my mother became very ill and passed away last year, I was unable to finish my school in the 2 years, as a matter of fact, I have ended up changing programs, from Medical Transcription to Administrative Assistant.

Because my maintenance ran out in June of 2003, I have been looking for full-time work, but no one wants to hire me because I have been out of the full-time workforce for such a long time. My ex and I were in court in June because of unpaid medical bills and other things, and at that time I asked for an extension on maintenance while I look for work. Him and his attorney managed to get the hearing postponed until September of this year.

Now his lawyer sent me an order telling me that I had to answer these "Interrogatores." First of all, I have never heard of this, and second of all, some of these questions are, in my opinion, personal, regarding my education. They want full transcripts as well as any and all information regarding my student loans and repayment schedules. What is the purpose? My question is why do they need this information, other than being nosey? What happens if I only provide them the information that I feel is necessary?

I have no problem providing them with information regarding my employment and my education, as far as what classes I have complete and what classes I haven't, but my grades and student loan information are none of their business. I am the person reponsible for repayment of my student loans, and that is private information.

Anyone with any information, please respond. I only have a couple weeks to answer these questions, and I am very reluctant to do so. Thanks.

Since you obviously do not have an attorney, I would suggest that you get a copy of the Wisconsin Rules of Civil Procedure. And look up the Discovery Rules and specifically interrogatories.
