Does a adversarial divorce provide better access to information than is available in a Collaborative Divorce?
Probably not. In litigation, formal “discovery” procedures are available to get information. Those procedures typically include interrogatories (written questions), requests for production of documents, depositions, and subpoenas for documents. However, even in most litigation, the information is provided by the other party. In a litigation case, the other party is usually motivated or tempted to provide the information that is requested but little more. If a party withholds information that is not obvious, it is usually impossible to know that, let alone do much about it.
