Answer to Question 1

Property acquired by gift or inheritance is considered separate property. Property owned jointly by married persons and generally includes property acquired during marriage is known as community property. Community property commonly includes wages, anything purchased with wages, and pension plans. It also includes debts. This property is equally divided during the property settlement phase of a divorce action. Community property is recognized only in the community property states.

Answer to Question 2

The most common discovery tools used in family law are interrogatories, depositions, and requests for production and inspection of documents and things. Interrogatories are written requests for answers to questions. A deposition is the testimony of a witness, given under oath, outside the courtroom and taken before a court reporter. Another tool is request for production and inspection of documents and things. This discovery tool, propounded to parties to the lawsuit, allows the party to see and copy specific documents or things that are relevant to the lawsuit.
