Key legal question
Whether the husband alone had to advance the costs for the ordered expert appraisal of the farm inventory.
Extracted holding
Yes. The wife had expressly said she was not currently requesting such an expert opinion, so the evidentiary request came only from the husband.
Extracted reasoning
Under Arts. 98 and 102 ZPO, the party requesting evidence must advance the related costs; only if both parties request the same evidence is the advance shared equally. The record showed no joint request.
