Testimony Outside of the Courtroom
Some people just can’t work out their case by themselves. Each side sees things in their own way, which only makes the whole situation messier. When that happens, a side usually has to get ready like the case will go to trial. If not, the court might set a final trial date, and anyone involved will want to have their strongest case ready. Knowing what’s coming at trial is one of the most powerful moves during a divorce. It’s like gearing up for a big game—you want to be totally prepared or risk losing. Keep reading to find out how being ready can really change the game.
A deposition can play a big part in many cases and can have an immense impact on the case result. For instance, it can help figure out why the case hasn’t been settled yet. In a deposition, an attorney can generally ask the other party under oath their position in terms of settlement and why they do not feel like the settlement offers they have received are just and reasonable.
A deposition can also help the parties and their attorneys understand each other’s perspective a little bit better. It’s vital that you understand the importance of depositions and why they can help determine your case result. Even if the deposition doesn’t exactly flush out all of the disputes and problems between the parties, it can help determine some of them and this can result in a trial being conducted more effectively and efficiently.
Obviously, most parties would prefer to settle their case so that a deposition is not necessary. But where that is not possible, a deposition of the opposing party, and key witnesses, is imperative in many cases in terms of trial preparation.
