What is Discovery and why is it important?

Answer

"Discovery" is the process of finding out information during litigation. Because the court must base its decision on evidence, it is very important to gather the evidence that supports your case and be aware of the evidence that the other side has to support their side. Because discovery is so important, it usually takes many months to complete. In addition, attorneys will often work very hard to prevent the other side from discovering some information. This often results in more delays, animosity, and attorneys' fees.

In a Collaborative Divorce, discovery is greatly expedited because all parties agree to share relevant information with each other.
