Definition Request for Admissions - a type of discovery in which the defendant is asked to answer questions yes or no.
Application in Divorce Requests for admissions speed up the work of discovery by establishing facts.

In many cases, the questions reference specific documents, and they are used to establish the authenticity of them if for any reason there is a doubt.

When completed, a request for admissions is a short cut because the courts treat these yes or no answers made by an adverse party as established; therefore, they need not be proved in trial.

Admissions are made under pain of perjury.
