What is the name of your state? VA

What type of questions are asked in a uncontested divorce case?

Hi Janet6162,

To answer your question, other than introductory questions that seek routine background information, like what is your name, address, age, place of employment, are you under the influence of drugs or medication at this time, etc., there are no standard questions that are asked in any deposition. Attorneys have a broad scope. Obviously if there is missing information around specific things, like the value of property that's being divided or how much income one party may have versus the other, then attorneys will seek to get information about that. If you're represented by an attorney, then if the questioning attorney's questions get too far afield, then your attorney can object to you answering them.

On my web site I have posted a sample deposition transcript that happens to have been taken from a deposition in a divorce proceeding. It's short so it doesn't give detailed information, but at least you can get a flavor for how questioning at a deposition routinely goes.

Good luck to you, and remember, during the proceeding to relax and allow youself time to think before answering.
