depositions?

Answer 1

I am assuming you mean in the legal sense otherwise why would you post it in this section. Depositions are when the other party to a lawsuit questions you on the record similar to what they would do in court. They do that so they can get information they need and also to know what might come into the trial. Sometimes it is just to clarify an issue. Such as who had legal custody of a child at a certain time. That is just an example. They can use it in court to cross examine you with so if you are the one getting deposed, I would reccommend getting a copy of the deposition. They can cost quite a bit. Copies cost around $300 or so depending on how long it is and other factors.
