To have a deposition done do they need a court order for that?
In a criminal case, you must seek court permission unless the person being deposed voluntarily agrees to it. In a civil case, no permissionis necessary. A person can be subpoenaed or, if a party, a Notice of Deposition is served.
How will I know what questions are going to asked?
I am not sure I understand. If you are being deposed, you won't know until they are asked.
Do I have to answer all questions?
That depends on the question. A court can order you to answer questins if you do not.
Can I plead the fifth?
Yes. If the answer has a tendency to incriminate you in a criminal matter.
I have no idea what a "so called legal guy" may be. I assume that you mean your attorney. Certainly, your attorney may request a rescheduled date.
It is certainly not unusual to schedule two depeosiions at the same time, to reduce costs. There is nothing inapproriate about that.
Now there might be a evaluation done, and than this one attorney will have a chance to submit question she wants answers to. Is that not a deposition?
No. Based on your questions, it appars that this is a civil and not a criminal case. That means your question is posted on the wrong board. That notwithstanding, submitting a list of questions is not a deposition. It is a form of discovery called "interrogatories."
