How long should I give my ex wife to answer some interrogatories? Our court date is on May 5 and I sent her the request about two weeks ago. It will be less than 30 days. Will this result in a continuance request, or have I given them enough time? They were simeple questions, nothing relaly that difficult to have to prove or that would take time to gather very much paperwork from financial records. ---

Your wife has 30 days to respond to your discovery request, and most often the response comes in the form of a request for an additional 30 days to respond. Outstanding discovery can be grounds for a court to grant a continuance, however there is no guarantee, especially if the judge finds that you had ample time to complete discovery in advance of trial.
