What is the name of your state? Indiana
i recently obtained a lawyer for our family court litigations. (This is my second lawyer in the same said case that had been ongoing since 2016)
the first attorney I had asked a significant amount of questions in the discoveries (interrogatories) and the respondent answered 90% (or more) with this:
“Defendent objects to the Interrogatories and Requests for Production of Documents to the extent that they are overly broad, unduly burdensome, oppressive, and/or seek information that is not relevant to the issues in this lawsuit or reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence.
Documents requested are obtainable from some other source that is more convenient, less burdensome or less expensive; therefore pursuant to FRCP, TITLE V. Disclosures and Discovery,
Rule 26.(b) Discovery Scope and Limits.
(i) the discovery sought is unreasonably cumulative or duplicative, or can be obtained from some other source that is more convenient, less burdensome, or less expensive; Respondent will not produce documents responsive to this request.
Subject to such objection(s) and without waiving same, Respondent is not responding to this request.”
my question is what happens if they refuse to answer all interrogatories with this answer? Is that allowed?
Is there anything me and my lawyer can do if he continues to refuse to answer again in this manner?
