Terms Used In Michigan Laws 780.163c
- Deposition: An oral statement made before an officer authorized by law to administer oaths. Such statements are often taken to examine potential witnesses, to obtain discovery, or to be used later in trial.
- Evidence: Information presented in testimony or in documents that is used to persuade the fact finder (judge or jury) to decide the case for one side or the other.
- Interrogatories: Written questions asked by one party of an opposing party, who must answer them in writing under oath; a discovery device in a lawsuit.
If the obligee is not present at the hearing and the obligor offers evidence constituting a defense which the court does not consider frivolous, upon the request of either party, the court shall continue the hearing to permit evidence relative to the duty of support. The evidence may be adduced by either party by deposition, interrogatories, or affidavits.
