Code of Civil Procedure section 2033.010 - Requests for Admission

Using Requests for Admission in Divorce and Family Law Proceedings

"RFAs" require the other party to admit or deny a certain fact, or the truth of a legal claim or defense. They can be useful for nailing down the authenticity of certain documents, for establishing that certain claims are not being made (i.e., "Admit that the family residence is community property"), but also when used in conjunction with Civil Form Interrogatories, by checking box 17.1, the other party can be forced to state all the facts, and identify all the evidence and witnesses, for each RFA which they deny.
