I just received a copy of a request for hearing on alimony and equitable distribution. Do I have the right to discovery before a hearing date is set?

Yes, you will need to file your discovery shortly to ensure the discovery process is complete prior to the hearing. A party has 30 days to response to discovery however extension of time giving a party up to 60 days are frequently granted.
