What is considered 'reasonable'?

It has to be provided in a reasonable time such that it can be properly reviewed before trial or hearing. If it is not so provided the party not receiving the discovery has options including asking for sanctions from the court or seeking a continuance of the proceeding.

The case is through circuit court (family law division). My lawyer showed up at a hearing on 7/28 and requested an adjournment as she had JUST been retained. The opposing side brought with them a file folder full of "evidence" supporting their motion - within the folder was documents, tapes of recorded phone conversations, and I'm not sure what else. My lawyer requested copies of the discovery information that day.

What type of case is this - District Court or Circuit Court - and why wasn't discovery requested sooner?
