Discovery is the stage of your Utah divorce, custody, or support case where both sides gather evidence. It’s not optional, and it’s not endless. Utah’s Rule 26 sets strict standards for discovery; with rare exception, discovery cannot be conducted after discovery closes.
If you miss your chance to ask questions, request documents, take depositions, or disclose evidence, you may lose the right to use that information at trial. Learn how discovery really works and what to do when deadlines approach or pass:
