No..that defeats the entire purpose.
You cannot "hide" evidence and expect it to be admissible later on.

The purpose of a deposition is to lock a person's story down, so they can't change it in court. Or, if they die or disappear before trial.
If their deposition contradicts their in court testimony, you can use your deposition to discredit their testimony.
A deposition is always done prior to trial. It has nothing to do with any evidence you might later submit at trial.
So I will be able to lock down their testimony before I show any evidence?! I want to be able to trap them in a lie.

Not necessarily.
I suspect you're currently in the discovery phase, right? If that's the case (this a family law matter IIRC), they'll likely want to hold off on a deposition until the very last minute...
The attorney likely isn't dumb

no I'm not In court, Yet, I just want to have my ducks in a row. I have to represent myself. My evidence is the best thing I have, and If they know what I have I will not be able to catch them in a lie, because they lie A LOT!

People do not have to submit to depositions.
I advise my clients to refuse to be deposed.
As Proserpina said, don't count on deposing anyone.
Even if they appear, they don't have to say that much.
You do know that if you conduct depositions, you
have to pay for the facility, the transcriptionist, and the
court reporter. You also must provide written copies of
the depositions to the other side, as well as the court.
Get ready to dig deep.
