You have been assigned to a case in which both parties have considerable assets, and have not been sharing financial information for years. In order to obtain information about accounts, funds, investments, etc., from the other party, you have been asked to organize e-discovery. What do you need to do?
What will be an ideal response?
There will be a variety of discovery tools that can be used, starting with interrogatories. If there is a financial affidavit required, you will need to both prepare one for your client, and review the one presented by the other party. You will ask for documentation with Requests for Production, perhaps request a QDRO to be ordered to identify pension rights, and prepare to depose both the spouse and perhaps other financial advisors, using a subpoena duces tecum to ensure they come with necessary documents. You can use a preprinted questionnaire to ensure that all possible assets are identified, and you will need to interview the client both for preparation of your responses and to determine if there are any suspected gaps in their responses. In some cases, it may be necessary to hire an investigator and/or forensic accountant to review all the information.
