Discovery of assets in modification of Florida alimony

Posted by Nydia Streets of Streets Law in Florida Family Law Procedure

What is discovery in a Florida family law case? This refers to a process in which each party can request documents or other evidence to prove his or her side of the case. For example, in discovery, a party might request the other party’s bank statements, paystubs and tax returns to determine income for purposes of calculating alimony or child support. Is there a limit on discovery? This was an issue in the case Flynn v. Flynn, 2D22-1172 (Fla. 2d DCA March 10, 2023).
