A deposition is an opportunity for your spouse’s attorney to gather information and to assess the type of witness you will be if the case proceeds to trial. Feeling anxious about your deposition is normal. However, regardless of the personality of the lawyers, most depositions in divorces are generally uneventful.
Remember that your attorney will be seated by your side at all times to support you. It is natural to fear the unknown, so ask to meet with your lawyer in advance to prepare for the deposition. If you are worried about certain questions that might be asked, talk to your attorney about them. Think of it as an opportunity to tell your story, and enlist your lawyer’s support in being well prepared.
