Congratulations on a job well done! It's hard for lawyers to argue against hard facts. And judges love real numbers.
I never made it to the deposition stage, but the former spouse's exorbitantly expensive lawyer had me digging out five years of anything that looked remotely financial.. credit cards, bank statements, IRA, household expenses.. on and on. All I know is that I went through at least one big warehouse box of copying paper and zounds of ink cartridges to meet the demands along with the endless amount of time it took to complete it. I, too, thought it was a technique to wear me down.
And at this point it IS all about the money, but you know that.
