Probably if you feel the need to check what they're saying to that extent, you should just give them a swerve instead? If it's someone you're dating./thinking of dating.

Ask them to see a copy of their DA. Nothing wrong with wanting to put your mind at rest.

@Marineboy67 thank you. I don't know which court it would have been in but I will ask if this is a problem.
