How can I be sure that I have accurate information about my ex-spouse's
income?
The
Guidelines say that spouses must disclose financial information
to each other. This is critical to the use of the Guidelines. If
a parent applies for child support, and their income is necessary
to determine the amount of child support, he or she must provide
the other parent with standard disclosure
documents along with the application, setting out the applicant's
financial situation.
The
other parent must then provide his or her own disclosure documents
within 30 days if their income is necessary to determine the amount
of child support.
