The Arizona Rules of Family Law Procedure refer to the gathering of evidence as “disclosure and discovery.” Discovery procedures involve the formalized exchange of information in the context of litigation, as with a divorce. Generally speaking, any information that is relevant, or that would lead to relevant information, may be discovered. Through discovery, each party gains knowledge of the facts and of the strengths and weaknesses of each position on the issues.
There are four important limitations on discovery. First, the information requested must be relevant to the case. Second, privileged information is not discoverable. Third, one party cannot inundate the other with discovery requests. Fourth, one party cannot use discovery to embarrass or harass the other.
