Request For Production Guidance

Summary

In child custody cases, responding to requests for production involves providing relevant documents like diaries, notes, and communications related to conservatorship, visitation, and legal fees. If you lack such documents, state that after a diligent search, no responsive documents are in your possession. For documents supporting claims in pleadings, include emails, receipts, or reports not previously submitted. For final hearings, prepare temporary orders, communication logs, and evidence of child support or supervised visits. Always ensure responses are truthful and complete, and consult an attorney for guidance if needed.
