In a Texas divorce, when discovery is requested by one side and?
It means the other side is breaking the law and they could be held in contempt of court, as could their attorney, if they have one. You should file a motion with the court to compel compliance with discovery requests. If the person still refuses to provide the information, they can be fined and, if they wont pay the fine and provide the information, they can be arrested. The court can also issue subpoenas for the information, as a last resort. For example, if youre seeking financial information from a bank, the other side normally will give you bank statements to review. If they refuse, the court can order the bank to provide the statements directly to you. If you go that route, be sure to ask the court to make any costs associated with getting the information the responsibility of the other party. It can get expensive to have copies of documents made and also the costs of filing the motion. You shouldnt have to pay to get something that the law requires you are to be given upon request.
