Master family law discovery with Best Virtual Paralegal. We help law firms gather data, manage documents, and draft discovery from start to finish.

States Leading the Way in Mandatory Disclosure(s)

While rules vary, several states are well-known for having specific statutes or court rules that require an automatic exchange of documents without a formal request from the opposing side.

Important Nuances to Watch in 2025

Legal landscapes are constantly shifting. In Texas, for example, the state moved away from automatic statewide initial disclosures in family law as of September 2023. However, many counties, such as Collin or Dallas, still enforce "Standing Orders" that require an automatic exchange within 30 days.

Similarly, in Georgia, while not always "automatic" statewide, the Domestic Relations Financial Affidavit is mandatory in any case involving money. Major jurisdictions like Fulton County have local rules requiring document production within 30 days. Even in states without a universal rule, individual judicial circuits often issue "Standing Pre-Trial Orders" that mandate document exchange. The Best Virtual Paralegal team can help with complying with standard pretrial orders, scheduling orders and discovery.
