A deponent is a person or entity that comes forward to give information about themselves in response to a request for information made by the court, called evidence. The deponent can be either an eyewitness, a witness, or someone who was involved in the past or present of the matter in question.
The deposition is used as proof in a case, so it is very important that the deponent has knowledge and experience in answering questions. Some questions may be asked by another person, the Deponent, and some may be asked by the husband’s or wife’s attorney.

It is very common for people to use a spouse’s name and aliases when divorcing, especially if they did not get along well before the divorce. This can lead to questions from the next person in line for a divorce, who may not know who the real people are.
Usually, this is asked as a favor to the court by one party or the other. However, having these questions asked is important for both parties to answer. Who knows, they may be able to clarify something for themselves!
This includes asking about former spouses, children of either party, former spouses’ current spouses, and anyone else with a connection to the divorce.
