Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Illinois
Deposition: Witness
When in a Deposition - is a person legally required to answer questions regarding their behavior when they were a minor - under the age of 18? (There were NO criminal acts - these are personal questions about behavior and character).
Is there a legal response - other than ''I don't recall'' - that I can give for NOT answering such questions? I am currently 63 years old with NO Criminal record whatsoever, but will be asked in deposition about childhood behavior.

Re: Deposition: Witness
Most subjects are allowed in a deposition. If the questions are at all related to the litigation you may have no choice. If not, you could seek a protective order barring those questions. You may want to consult with your attorney.

Without knowing the specifics of the case, your question can not be answered. Someone already approved your message before I saw it. Had that approval not been given, I would have rejected your message and asked you to repost with more facts.
Re: Deposition: Witness
We need the following for starters:
1- is this a state of federal court?
2- what is the nature of the litigation?
Depending on your answers I may need more facts before even attempting to give you an answer.
